Notes
Blind baking the crust for 10 minutes helps prevent a soggy bottom.Use dairy-free milk and cheese for a dairy-free version.To make it crustless, grease the pie dish and omit the crust.Frozen broccoli can be used—just thaw and drain it well first.Great as a make-ahead dish for easy meals throughout the week.
