Instructions
Preheat oven to 375° Fahrenheit. Lightly grease 9×9 inch baking pan with butter or neutral-flavored cooking spray.
Add 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 cup yellow cornmeal, 1 tablespoon fresh baking powder, ¼ cup granulated sugar, and 1 pinch salt to large mixing bowl. Stir ingredients together until incorporated.
Push ingredients to outside of bowl, creating well in center of bowl. Add 1 cup cottage cheese, 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, 4 large eggs, and ½ cup milk to well. Stir ingredients together until fully combined into thick batter.
Add ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese and 2 cups finely chopped broccoli to bowl. Gently fold ingredients into batter until just incorporated.
Transfer cornbread batter to prepared baking pan. Spread batter out evenly across pan, filling pan completely. If using, sprinkle remaining ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese over top of batter.
Place baking dish in center of preheated oven. Bake cornbread 25 minutes or until toothpick inserted into center of pan comes out clean or with few crumbs.
When cornbread is baked through, carefully remove pan from oven. Let cool slightly, then slice cornbread into squares and serve as desired.
