This Broccoli and Asparagus Cottage Cheese Bake is a simple, protein-packed dish that comes together in under an hour. Blended cottage cheese and eggs create a creamy, custard-like base that holds the vegetables together. Parmesan on top adds a savory finish. It works as a light main dish or a satisfying side.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cottage cheese, blended
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 cup asparagus pieces, steamed until crisp-tender
  • 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the blended cottage cheese and eggs until smooth and creamy.
  3. Using a kitchen towel, gently dry the steamed broccoli and asparagus until no surface moisture remains.
  4. In a greased baking dish, evenly distribute the vegetables.
  5. Pour the cottage cheese mixture over the vegetables, making sure they are well covered.
  6. Sprinkle the shredded Parmesan over the top.
  7. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the center is set and does not jiggle.
  8. If the center is still wobbly, bake for an additional 5 minutes for the best texture.

Notes

  • Blend the cottage cheese fully before mixing to get a smooth, custard-like texture.
  • Drying the vegetables is important. Extra moisture can prevent the bake from setting properly.
  • You can swap asparagus for zucchini or spinach if needed.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat individual portions in the microwave for 1 to 2 minutes.
