Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Broccoli florets
- 1.5 cups Cooked white or brown rice
- 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 3 large Eggs
- 1 cup Milk
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 9-inch crust Pie crust (pre-made or homemade)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
If not already done, cook the rice according to package instructions and allow it to cool slightly.
Steam or blanch the broccoli florets until tender but still vibrant green. Drain any excess moisture and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder until well combined.
Stir in the cooked rice, broccoli florets, and 1.5 cups of shredded cheddar cheese. Mix until evenly incorporated.
Place the prepared pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish. If using homemade dough, roll it out and fit it into the dish, trimming any excess overhang.
Pour the broccoli, rice, and cheese mixture into the pie crust, spreading it out evenly.
Sprinkle the remaining 0.5 cup of cheddar cheese on top of the filling for a golden, cheesy topping.
Place the pie dish on the middle rack of the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow the pie to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm and enjoy!
