Ingredients

• 4 cups Fresh broccoli florets
• 4 cups Fresh spinach leaves
• 1 cup Low-fat cottage cheese
• 1 cup Plain Greek yogurt (non-fat)
• 1 cup Low-fat shredded cheddar cheese
• 3 Egg whites
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Panko breadcrumbs
• 1 spray Olive oil spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with olive oil spray and set aside.

Step 2

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Blanch the broccoli florets in the boiling water for 2-3 minutes, or until they are bright green and slightly tender. Drain and set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the spinach, blanched broccoli, cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, shredded cheddar cheese, egg whites, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well combined.

Step 4

Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

Step 5

Sprinkle the panko breadcrumbs evenly over the top of the mixture to create a crispy topping.

Step 6

Lightly spray the panko topping with olive oil spray to help it turn golden brown during baking.

Step 7

Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the casserole is bubbling around the edges.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and allow the casserole to cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 9

Serve warm and enjoy your healthy, low-fat spinach broccoli casserole!
