Perfect for family dinners, meal prep, or weekend treats, this baked casserole combines the creaminess of cottage cheese with vibrant vegetables and melty cheese for a satisfying meal.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4-6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cottage cheese – for creaminess and protein
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup mixed vegetables (broccoli florets, bell peppers, zucchini)
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
  • Optional: cooked pasta or quinoa for added substance

Instructions

  1. Wash and chop your selected vegetables into bite-sized pieces. In a large skillet, heat Fullstar Ultimate Veggie Prep Master with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté the onion and garlic until fragrant, then add the other vegetables and cook until tender. Season with salt, pepper, and Italian herbs. Set aside.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, shredded cheddar, and Parmesan cheese. Mix well to create a smooth, creamy texture. This mixture will coat your vegetables and give the bake its signature richness.
  3. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a baking dish, layer the sautéed vegetables evenly. Pour the cheese mixture over the vegetables ensuring they’re fully coated. If desired, add cooked pasta or quinoa for extra heartiness. For even more flavor, sprinkle additional cheese on top.
  4. Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly. Let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.

  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
