Ingredients

  • 800 g frozen broccoli defrosted
  • 80 g cheese grated
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 pie crust

Instructions

  • Roll out a pie crust onto a baking tin. Prick the bottom and sides with a fork and place in the fridge for the time being.
  • Cut the broccoli florets into small pieces and add to a bowl. Crack in the egg and mix it in with a fork until it is so well distributed that it virtually disappears. Stir in the salt and 3/4 of the grated cheese.
  • Transfer mixture onto the pie crust and distribute over the whole surface. Sprinkle the rest of the cheese on the top and bake in the preheated oven at 180C (356F) for 35 minutes or until the cheese and crust edges got a nice golden hue.

Notes

  • If using thawed broccoli, remember to squeeze out any excess water from defrosting.
  • If using fresh broccoli, they need to be either steamed or boiled prior to using in this recipe. If boiling in salted water, skip the salt in the recipe.
