Cynthia's Broccoli Cheese Casserole

This recipe actually came from Betty Shobe as a Spinach Casserole.  Since Cynthia knew what I thought of spinach, she substituted broccoli and it has been her specialty ever since.  As I have gotten older, my taste buds have changed.  I am thinking I might like the spinach version now.  One of these days I will have to try it with spinach, but not on the holidays.  A broccoli casserole is now mandatory then.

6 lg eggs
1 lb frozen chopped broccoli, thawed
4 tbsp margarine
2 sm cottage cheese containers
1/2 lb shredded Cheddar Cheese
6 tbsp flour

Beat eggs in a large bowl.  Combine rest of the ingredients and pour into a greased 9",x13' deep lasagne pan.  The original recipe called for a 1/4 lb of margarine and we have over time cut it back to a tabspoon or two..  Bake in a preheated 350F oven for 60 minutes.  This is a recipe that reheats well.  We normally madea double batch on Christmas or Thanksgiving morning and would eat the leftovers for the next few days.
