How To Make Broccoli Cornbread with Jiffy Mix & Cottage Cheese

This cornbread is very simple to make. Preheat the oven. Stir together eggs, Jiffy mix, cheddar cheese, chopped fresh broccoli, cottage cheese, and a splash of milk. I had this ready to bake before the oven preheated. 

I used chopped fresh broccoli. You can substitute frozen broccoli if you prefer. Thaw and drain the frozen broccoli before adding it to the batter.

I know a lot of people have an aversion to using cottage cheese. You can not taste the cottage cheese in this recipe. I urge you to give it a try. I love cooking with cottage cheese even though I don’t eat it straight out of the carton. It is wonderful in casseroles. It makes this Broccoli Cornbread so moist.

Does Cornbread Need to Be Refrigerated?

I store any leftover cornbread covered in the refrigerator. To reheat, heat in the microwave for a few seconds. You can also wrap the leftover cornbread in foil and reheat it in the oven. The microwave is just easier and quicker.
