Ingredients

Method

  1. Heat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Brush a 5-inch (13cm) ramekin with a little of the oil. Cook the broccoli in the rest over medium-high heat for 3 minutes, until bright green and just tender.
  2. Blend the cottage cheese and Dijon with a stick blender until smooth. Whisk in the egg, egg white, salt and pepper, fold in the broccoli and pour into the ramekin.
  3. Top with the cheddar and bake 25 minutes, until a knife in the center comes out clean. Rest 5 minutes before eating.
KeepFridge 3 days. Reheat 1 minute in the microwave.
SwapCauliflower in place of broccoli lowers the carbohydrate. Chop it just as small, so it cooks in the same time.
