Cheesy Broccoli Bake (Microwaved or Baked)

from Fabulous Vegetarian Cooking

1 package (10 oz) frozen chopped broccoli
4 eggs, slightly beaten
2 Tbsp flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
2 cups grated sharp Cheddar cheese
1 cup cottage cheese (Mom often uses 1 cup Cheddar and 2 cups cottage cheese to reduce the fat, but it tastes better with more fat cheese)
1 cup mushrooms, canned or fresh (optional)

1.  Microwave frozen broccoli in 1 1/2-quart glass casserole, loosely covered, 6 minutes on high, stirring once; drain well.

2. Combine eggs, flour, salt, and pepper in large mixing bowl; stir in broccoli, Cheddar cheese, cottage cheese and mushrooms.

3. Pour mixture into 1 1/2-quart glass casserole; microwave, covered, 10 to 12 minutes on High or until almost set in center, stirring very 3 o 4 minutes.  Or you can bake in the oven (about 20-30 minutes at 350).

4. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.

Note: If fresh broccoli is used, peel stalks, cut into 1/2-inch pieces, and microwave 8-10 minutes on high, stirring once.
