This is the best recipe for tomato sauce. When I was a child, we had this every Wednesday. Nutmeg, in very little amounts, is the hidden component. Delicious! Over pasta, please.

Ingredients
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted
- ½ cup low-fat cottage cheese
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 cup cornmeal
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a 9 inch cake pan.
- Bring an inch of water to a boil in a large saucepan. Place broccoli in pan and cover. Steam until tender, about 5 minutes. Drain, and rinse with cold water until cold; squeeze out excess water.
- Combine melted butter, cottage cheese, egg, milk, and steamed broccoli in a large bowl. In a separate large bowl, stir together the cornmeal, baking soda, and salt. Make a depression in the middle of the dry ingredients; spoon in broccoli mixture. Stir until well combined. Spoon into prepared pan.
- Bake until a knife inserted into the center of the pan comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Loosen edges of cooked cornbread with a knife. Cut into wedges to serve.

I think the cornbread needs to be presoaked… there isn’t enough liquid otherwise… I I made this with about 1/2 cup milk in the end and was about right. As i mixed it in 2 tbsp at a time, it kept soaking it up.
This was barely okay. It stuck to the pan, and was kind of bland. It did taste very broccoli-ish, so it fills the veggie requirements, and it did not have too much oil in it, so it was healthier than most cornbreads. I do not think I will make it again, though.
I substiuted Jiffy mix for the cornmeal. Had to add a little more milk but they came out great.
We did not care for this at all. Mine came out dry and salty with little flavor. I may attempt this again to see if I did anything wrong–I follow the recipe exactly. But will likely look for a different recipe.
I might have used a different type of cormeal, but this recipe didn’t turn out like I expected. It lacks of flavor and consistency. I might have used more milk and some cheese, I don’t know. Thanks anyways!!
I was skeptical to be the first to try this recipe, but it came out really well! I used this recipe as a topping for veggie cornbread casserole to REALLY get the veggies in there, and it was a big hit! I used the diced frozen broccoli for ease, and a ts of b.power bc I didn’t have soda but it rose fine anyway. I think I might add some garlic to it next time, to boost the flavors. This recipe’s a keeper, thanks!!
