I made this for "American Thanksgiving" in Sweden for a bunch of hockey players and they all loved it! Who would have thought that 21-30 year old men with big appetites would have liked the broccoli dish the most? I was really happy with it and I never cook so the fact that I could do this means it's really simple. I didn't add onion because the cheese I had was really strong and with the seasoning I don't think you need any other flavors. Awesome dish!

Very nice side dish! In lieu of cheddar (I was out) I subbed with feta and cream cheese. I did still use the cottage cheese as well. The only thing I shoulda done was omit the salt since I was using feta. But no matter, it was gobbled up quickly. Thanks for a great recipe.

I'm not much of a maker of souffles, but after reading the other reviews, was willing to take this one on! Glad I did, too, 'cause it's a very satisfying & tasty dish, but then we love broccoli around here, so . . . I did use fat-free cottage cheese as well as the same when it came to half-and-half, & also used lemon pepper for the seasoning! Thanks for sharing a wonderful recipe!

A nice, healthy and easy recipe for dinner tonight, complemented with some cantaloupe and cream cheese stuffed mushrooms for a well rounded out vegetarian meal! Next time I will decrease the amount of cheese and the amount of salt. I used fat free half-and-half with no problems. THANKS!!! Made for AUS/NZ recipe swap Aug 2009.

I loved this! Very quick and easy to prepare, but tastes delicious! It is more like a quiche....quite "eggy", but delicious none the less! I'll make this again! Made for Zaar 123 Hit Wonders!
