Ingredients
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 6 eggs
- 1 cup evaporated milk
- 1 1/2 cups mixed grated Cheddar and Jack cheeses
- 1/4 cup imitation bacon bits
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 prepared piecrust (see page 5)
Method
- Preheat the oven to 325F.
- Place a large saucepan with 1 inch of water over high heat and bring to a boil.
- Add the broccoli to the pan, cover, and cook for 4 minutes, or until tender.
- Drain the water.
- (Alternatively, if you have a microwave, place the broccoli in a microwave-safe container and add a little water.
- Cover with plastic wrap or wax paper and microwave on high heat for 5 minutes, or until tender.)
- Whisk together the eggs and evaporated milk in a large bowl.
- Stir in the cheese, broccoli, bacon bits, and salt.
- Press the piecrust into an ungreased 9-inch pie or tart pan.
- Using a fork, press the tines into the crust around the rim to make a simple pattern.
- Pour the egg mixture into the crust and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until lightly browned and set in the center.
- Remove from the oven and cool completely.
- Cut into wedges or squares just prior to serving.
- Okay, this may seem obvious, but Ill mention it anyway.
- Store-brand piecrusts are substantially cheaper than the name brands, and theyre usually just as good.
