Very tasty recipe - Will make again! I used raw broccoli, lite Havarti cheese no butter at the end and added 3/.4 tsp of cayenne plus Hot chili sauce when serving. I placed the broccoli on top of the crumb mixture in the pie plate along with the cubed cheese, cayenne & basil - Set it aside, mixed the egg, milk & cottage cheese, kept it in the fridge until bake time The bake time was perfect 40 minutes then added the chili sauce on top and enjoyed my dinner. Thanks for posting this delish recipe

Made adjustments as follows: I used the 2 cups of broccoli asked for, but cut the rest of the ingredients buy using only 2/3 of what's called for (2 eggs, 1 c cottage cheese, etc). Also substituted cheddar instead of jack since I think it looks and tastes better. I didn't the crust part of recipe and left out the butter. I put it in a small casserole dish. Please see photo of result.

Hi!
I live in a little Victorian seaport on the Olympic peninsula with my husband, 11 year old son, a cat and two frogs.
Before my son was born my husband and I traveled around the country in a motorhome, so you could name lots of places and I'll say "I've been there". Never traveled overseas, though, I'm terrified of flying.
My husband is a guitarist, and that doesn't pay so well, so we're always on a budget. Please tip your local musician. ;o) He does get fed, though, at some very fancy restaurants where he plays.
