Ingredients
- 3 cups broccoli florets
- 3 cups cauliflower florets
- 1 1/2 cups cottage cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup sour cream

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli and cauliflower and cook for 3–4 minutes, just until slightly tender. Drain well.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the cottage cheese, eggs, sour cream, garlic, Italian seasoning, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
- Stir in the cheddar and Parmesan cheese.
- Add the cooked broccoli and cauliflower and gently toss until everything is well coated.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
- Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese over the top.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes, until hot and bubbly and the cheese is golden.
- Let rest for 5–10 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Notes
- For a smoother, creamier casserole, blend the cottage cheese until smooth before mixing it with the other ingredients.
