Ingredients
Instructions
- Cook broccoli for 5 minutes.
- Mix cooked broccoli, chopped onion, sliced mushrooms, and shredded Cheddar cheese.
- Pour the broccoli mixture into a 9 x 13-inch pan.
- In a separate bowl, beat eggs, Bisquick, salt, and pepper until smooth.
- Pour the egg mixture over the broccoli mixture in the pan.
- Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 35 to 40 minutes until golden and set.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider adding a cup of ricotta cheese to the broccoli mixture. You can substitute the Cheddar with mozzarella or a dairy-free cheese for a different flavor profile. If you don't have Bisquick, a homemade mix of flour, baking powder, and salt can work as a substitute. Ensure the broccoli is well-drained to avoid excess moisture.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Easy Veggie Pie with a fresh garden salad or steamed vegetables for a balanced meal. It also pairs beautifully with Best Ever Apple Cake for a delightful dessert afterward. For an added kick, a dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of fresh herbs can enhance the flavor.
