Quick Dinner or Brunch

Cheesy Broccoli Pie
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 30 minutes

Servings: 12

Ingredients:

2 (10 ounce) packages frozen chopped broccoli, thawed
3 cups shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
2/3 cup chopped onion (I used red onion because I had it on hand)
3 eggs
1 1/3 cups milk
3/4 cup biscuit baking mix (Bisquick)
1/2 teaspoon salt (I might add a touch more S&P)
1/4 tsp pepper
Directions:
In a large bowl, combine broccoli, 2 cups cheese and onion. In another bowl, combine eggs, milk, biscuit mix, salt and pepper; mix well. Pour over broccoli mixture; toss gently. Pour into two greased 9-in. pie plates.

Bake at 400 degrees F for 25-30 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Sprinkle with remaining cheese; return to the oven for 1-2 minutes or until melted. (I sprinkled the cheese on at the very beginning of baking and found it created a nice golden cheesy crust). Let stand 5-10 minutes before cutting.


I don't usually use a lot of pre-fab products like Bisquick, but I was looking for a quick and easy dinner and this was quite good. The kids ate it well and you could really substitute anything you had on hand if you wanted to change up the flavor. It would be good with bacon, ham, or even ground beef added.
