2 cups (1 pound) chopped fresh broccoli or sliced fresh cauliflower

OR

1 (10 oz.) pkg. frozen chopped broccoli or cauliflower, thawed and

drained or other interesting mixed veggies (do not cook frozen ones)

1 1/2 cups milk

3/4 cup baking mix

1/2 cups chopped onion

3 large eggs

1/2 cups chopped green pepper

1 teaspoon salt

1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Swiss plus Parmesan)

1/4 teaspoon pepper

1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1 tablespoon fresh minced parsley

 

Trim off large leaves of broccoli. Remove tough ends of lower stalks,

and wash broccoli thoroughly, cut flowerets and stems into thin

slices.

Combine broccoli, onion, and 1/4 cup water in a saucepan, cover and

cook over medium heat 6 to 8 minutes. Drain thoroughly, pressing out

moisture with paper towels.

Heat oven to 400 degrees. Lightly grease pie plate, 10 by 1 1/2

inches. Heat 1 inch salted water (1/2 teaspoon salt to 1 cup water)

to boiling. Add broccoli. Cover and heat to boiling. Cook about 5

minutes (7 minutes in high altitudes) or until almost tender, drain

thoroughly. Mix broccoli, onion, green pepper and cheese in pie

plate.

Beat remaining ingredients 15 seconds in blender on high, 1 minute

with hand beater or until smooth. Pour into pie plate. Bake 35-40

minutes or until golden brown and knife inserted halfway between

center and edge comes out clean. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.

Garnish as desired. Refrigerate any remaining pie. Makes 6 servings.

 

YOGURT VEGGIE PIE: Omit cheese and milk and use only 2 large eggs.

Blend 1 cup sour cream or thick yogurt PLUS 1 cup cottage cheese into

the baking mix blend.

 

SPINACH PIE: Substitute 1 package (10 ounces) frozen spinach, thawed

and drained, or 1 pound fresh spinach lightly cooked and chopped for

the broccoli. Do not cook frozen spinach first. Omit green pepper.

Substitute Swiss cheese for the Cheddar cheese. Add 1/4 teaspoon

ground nutmeg. Continue as directed - except bake about 30 minutes

(35 minutes in high altitudes).

 

ASPARAGUS PIE: Substitute 2 cups lightly cooked asparagus pieces for

the broccoli.

Jiffy or Bisquick. I always buy Jiffy, because it is manufactured in a town

about 5 miles from my home. Amy

a small box, has lard in it.

 

Bisquick or Pioneer Baking mixes are fine though.
