It looks like a quiche, but it's magical how the batter forms its own bottom crust and filling as it bakes. As comforting as macaroni and cheese, this pie is a surefire kid-pleaser.

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 sweet red pepper, chopped
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh dill, (or 1 tsp/5 mL dried)
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 2 cups chopped broccoli florets
  • 1 tub (8 oz/250 g) herbed cream cheese
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 cup butter, cubed
  • 4 eggs
  • 1-1/2 cups milk

Preparation

In skillet, heat oil over medium heat; cook onion, red pepper, dill, salt and pepper, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in broccoli. Spoon into greased 10-inch (25 cm) pie plate. Dollop with cream cheese; set aside.

In bowl, whisk flour with baking powder. Using pastry blender or 2 knives, cut in butter until mixture is in fine crumbs; whisk in eggs and milk until smooth. Pour over broccoli mixture.

Bake in 350ºF (180ºF) oven until golden and knife inserted in centre comes out clean, about 45 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes before cutting.
