Ingredients

1 1/2 cups steamed broccoli florets roughly chopped
1 6.5 oz container light garlic-herb spreadable cheese i.e. Boursin or Alouette
4 large eggs
1/2 cup butter melted
1 small sweet onion finely diced
2 cups shredded sharp white cheddar cheese divided
1 8.5 oz box cornbread mix [Martha White or Jiffy]
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp dry mustard
1/4 tsp onion powder

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F and butter a 11 x 7 inch (2 Quart) baking dish. Set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl mix together steamed broccoli, garlic-herb cheese spread, 4 eggs, melted butter and finely diced onion until blended.
To the bowl add 1 cup of cheddar cheese, cornbread mix and seasonings. Stir until combined.
Pour into the prepared dish and sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese on top.
Place into the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes until golden and a toothpick inserted into the center shows moist crumbs.
Serve immediately.

Notes

If you'd like to spice up the flavor, add 1-2 tsp. creole seasoning and a sprinkle of cayenne in place of the garlic and onion powder. You can also add 6-8 oz. cubed ham or cooked spicy sausage for a twist.
