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)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

If not already done, cook the rice according to package instructions and allow it to cool slightly.

Step 3

Steam or blanch the broccoli florets until tender but still vibrant green. Drain any excess moisture and set aside.

Step 4

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder until well combined.

Step 5

Stir in the cooked rice, broccoli florets, and 1.5 cups of shredded cheddar cheese. Mix until evenly incorporated.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Pour the broccoli, rice, and cheese mixture into the pie crust, spreading it out evenly.

Step 8

Sprinkle the remaining 0.5 cup of cheddar cheese on top of the filling for a golden, cheesy topping.

Step 9

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.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and allow the pie to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing.

Step 11

Serve warm and enjoy!
