Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Bake the pie: Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set. You can check if the pie is done by inserting a toothpick or knife into the center—if it comes out clean, the pie is ready.
Rest the pie: Once baked, remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool for about 10 minutes before slicing. This resting time will help the pie firm up, making it easier to cut and serve.
Step 5: Serve
Slice and enjoy: Slice the pie into wedges and serve warm. This savory pie pairs well with a fresh salad, a dollop of sour cream, or even a side of roasted vegetables.
Cooking Tips
Blanch the broccoli: Blanching the broccoli before adding it to the pie ensures that it’s cooked perfectly by the time the pie is done baking. It also helps maintain the bright green color and texture of the broccoli.
Use fresh herbs: Fresh parsley adds a lovely brightness to this dish, but you can also use other herbs like thyme, basil, or cilantro, depending on your preference.
Customize with other vegetables: This recipe is versatile, and you can easily swap or add other vegetables like zucchini, spinach, or mushrooms to the filling.
Cheese choices: Mozzarella melts beautifully, but you can also use other cheeses like cheddar, gouda, or feta for different flavors. If you like a sharper taste, consider using parmesan or gruyere.
Make it gluten-free: To make the pie gluten-free, simply replace the flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
Storage
Refrigeration: Store any leftover pie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat slices in the microwave or oven before serving.
Freezing: This savory pie can also be frozen. Wrap individual slices in plastic wrap and store them in a freezer-safe bag or container for up to 2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight and reheat in the oven for the best results.
