Broccoli And Cheese Pie Food

BROCCOLI PIE

Steps:

• In a skillet, saute onion in oil until tender, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl; add eggs, broccoli, cheeses, salt and nutmeg. Pour into pie shell. Bake at 350° for 50-55 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

IMPOSSIBLE BROCCOLI PIE

Steps:

• Thaw broccoli crowns in a 9" pie plate, layer with onions and then cheese.
• In a large bowl, combine eggs, milk, Bisquix and pepper, beat together well.
• Pour mixture over broccoli in a spiral motion (otherwise it may take too long to cook in the middle).
• Bake for 25-35 minutes at 400F (a knife poked into the middle should come out clean).

BROCCOLI CHEESE PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200*C/400*F/ gas mark 6. Put a baking tray in the oven to heat.
• Cook the broccoli in a pot of lightly salted boiling water for about 5 minutes until crispy tender. Drain well.
• Return to the saucepan. Stir together the stock, soup and both the cream cheese and the cheddar. Pour over the broccoli and gently stir to combine.
• Line an oval pie dish with the short crust pastry, leaving an overhang. Pour the broccoli mixture into the lined dish. Brush the edge all the way around with a bit of the egg wash. Cover with the puff pastry pressing the edges together and sealing the filling inside. Brush the surface of the pastry with the beaten egg. Snip a few slits in the top with a pair of kitchen scissors to vent.
• Place onto the heated baking tray and bake on the bottom shelf of the oven for 30 minutes, until heated through, the bottom crust is cooked, and the top pastry is puffed and golden brown.
• Spoon out onto heated plates to serve.

BROCCOLI-CHEDDAR HAND PIES

Steps:

• For the cheese sauce: Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until softened, about 30 seconds. Season with salt and pepper.
• Stir in the flour and cook 15 to 30 seconds. Switch to a whisk and slowly stream in the milk while whisking constantly. Continue whisking until no lumps remain. Switch to a wooden spoon, bring to a simmer and simmer, stirring frequently, until thickened enough to coat the back of the spoon, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Stir in the paprika and mustard. Stir in the cheese, stirring until melted. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside to cool to room temperature.
• For the hand pies: If using fresh broccoli, prepare an ice bath by filling a medium bowl with ice and water. Bring a medium saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli florets and allow to cook until bright green and crisp-tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain the broccoli and place immediately into the ice bath to stop the cooking. Drain and pat very dry. If using thawed frozen broccoli, just pat the florets very dry with paper towels.
• Place the broccoli florets in a food processor and pulse until chopped. Stir the chopped broccoli into the cheese sauce and refrigerate until cooled and set, 1 to 2 hours.
• When ready to form the hand pies, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Lay the pie dough out on a work surface. Cut out circles from the dough using a bowl or plate that is 4 inches in diameter and cutting around it with a paring knife. You should get a total of 8 circles. Place 1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons of the broccoli-cheese mixture in the center of a dough round and brush the egg wash mixture around the edge of the circle, then fold one side of the crust over the filling, creating a half-moon. Press the edges to seal, then use the tines of a fork to press gently around the edges to seal again. Repeat with the remaining dough rounds and filling.
• Brush the tops of the pies with egg wash and prick with a fork or make a small slit with a paring knife in the top of each to release steam. Bake until golden brown, 18 to 20 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes before serving.

CRUSTLESS BROCCOLI AND COTTAGE CHEESE PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Generously butter 9 inch pie pan or quiche pan.
• Mix the parmesan cheese and bread crumbs together and pat on the bottom and sides of the dish-this will form the crust.
• Mix the cottage cheese, milk, Monterey Jack and eggs together well, then stir in the remaining ingredients (except the butter). Pour into the pie crust and smooth over the top, then dot with butter.
• Bake for 40 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out almost clean. Serve immediately.

CRUSTY CHEDDAR PIES

Steps:

• Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil. Put the leeks, broccoli and celery in a large steamer. Add the potatoes to the water and cook for 20 mins, with the vegetables steaming on top, until all are tender. Drain the potatoes, then mash with plenty of seasoning, 25g of the butter and all the yogurt.
• While the veg cooks, pour the milk into a pan, add the flour, both mustards and remaining butter, and cook over a medium heat, whisking all the time, until smooth and thickened. Stir in half the cheese and season. Remove from heat.
• Divide the steamed veg and peas between 8 individual pie dishes. Pour over the sauce and top with the mash, then sprinkle over the remaining cheese.
• Pack into freezer bags and use within 3 months. To serve, unwrap and put the dishes on a baking tray in the cold oven, then set to 200C/180C fan/ gas 6. Bake for 50-55 mins until bubbling and hot all the way through.
