Broccoli Cheese Pie

Recipe View Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). (Prep time: 5 minutes)

Recipe View Bring about 1 inch of water to a boil in a saucepan. Place broccoli in a steamer basket over the boiling water. Steam until tender-crisp, about 5 minutes. (Cook time: 5 minutes)

Recipe View In a medium bowl, combine 3/4 cup Cheddar cheese, 3/4 cup flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and dry mustard. Add the 1/4 cup melted butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of an 8-inch pie dish to form a crust. (Prep time: 10 minutes)

Recipe View Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sliced mushrooms and sauté until softened and lightly browned, about 5-7 minutes. (Cook time: 7 minutes)

Recipe View Stir in 2 tablespoons flour into the mushroom mixture and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Gradually whisk in the half-and-half, remaining salt, and nutmeg. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly, and cook for 1 minute until slightly thickened. (Cook time: 3 minutes)

Recipe View Remove the skillet from the heat and gently stir in the steamed broccoli. Gradually drizzle in the beaten eggs, stirring constantly to prevent curdling. (Prep time: 3 minutes)

Recipe View Pour the broccoli and cheese mixture into the prepared pie crust. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup Cheddar cheese over the top. (Prep time: 2 minutes)

Recipe View Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Then, reduce the heat to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) and continue baking until the crust is golden brown and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean, about 20-25 minutes more. (Cook time: 35 minutes)

Recipe View Let the pie cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving. (Rest time: 10 minutes)
