Very good recipe. However, I think it needs more taste and I prefer thicker pieces so I would recommend baking in a greased 9x9 pan: 2 (12 oz) bags of frozen broccoli, thawed 1 (15 oz) tub ricotta cheese 1 cup small curd cottage cheese, 4 lg. eggs, 1 Tablespoon dried onion, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper 1 bag (8 oz) shredded Mozzarella Cheese, 1 handful Parmesan Cheese, freshly grated, for the topping. Mix all ingredients together except the parmesan cheese and pour into a 9x9x2 pan. Top with the freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Bake 350 degrees for approx 1 hour. Tent with foil after 45 minutes if necessary, *Use an oven thermometer for accurate oven heating.

Boring and dry, why the eggs that dry up the ricotta even more

Very good broccoli casserole. It's not to moist or too dry; just right. I did use the optional shredded cheddar cheese on top....yum! Like the previous reviewer, mine was done at 45 minutes. This is a great one for kids. I will make this again and try swiss cheese on top. Thanx!

Good stuff! I made this casserole half topped with cheese and half without; not surprisingly, the side with the cheesy topping was a lot better. I'm sure any type of shredded cheese will do (I used fresh parmesan). I had to remove the casserole from the oven at 45 minutes to prevent it from burning on the top; otherwise, I followed directions closely. Thanks for the easy recipe!
