Note from Sabrina
Sometimes I use frozen broccoli because it’s what I have on hand. There is just one small extra step. You will need to completely thaw the broccoli and pat dry so that it doesn’t release too much moisture into the filling. Keep in mind that frozen broccoli is more stems than florets, but that’s a preference issue, and sometimes that’s worth it not to take an extra trip to the store.

About this Recipe
Broccoli Pie can be compared to a broccoli cheddar quiche, just made without a pie crust. It has an egg and biscuit mix filling that makes it heartier. Even though it’s loaded with cheese and an eggy quiche filling, its still relatively healthy! Three cups of fresh broccoli florets gives you lots of dietary fiber, vitamin A, and vitamin C to balance out that rich cheesy filling. If you want to make this completely from scratch, see my Variation below to make your own homemade Bisquick replacement.
Can this be made ahead of time?
You can make Broccoli Pie ahead of time, either baked or unbaked. Store an unbaked pie up to 2 days in the refrigerator or freeze for 1 month. Thaw a frozen Broccoli Pie in the refrigerator overnight before baking. Add 10 minutes to the baking time when cooking a chilled pie. If you store it after it has baked, cover it in plastic and then foil and store it for up to 3 months. Let it thaw fully before reheating.
Pairing Suggestions
The flavors in your cheesy pie go with just about any meal. For a fancy Easter dinner, serve it along with Roast Leg of Lamb and Rainbow Roasted Vegetables. For a casual, easy weeknight meal serve as a side dish for Garlic Pork Loin Roast.
How to Store
- Serve: Broccoli Pie can be at room temperature for up to 2 hours before you need to refrigerate or freeze it.
- Store: Cool this pie completely before covering tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 4 days.
- Freeze: This Broccoli dish can be frozen for up to 3 months covered in plastic wrap and foil or in an airtight container. To reheat, thaw overnight in the refrigerator. Reheat and enjoy!
Ideas to Serve
To turn Broccoli Pie into an easy complete meal, add one cup of cooked diced ham or chicken breast for a pot pie without the pie crust kind of dinner. If you are adding meat to make this pie heartier, use a 9×13 casserole dish instead of the pie plate, and bake it at 400 degrees for 20-25 minutes. If you want to double the recipe, you can do that too. Just add two cup of cooked meat and bake for 45-60 minutes at the same temperature.
Slow Cooker Method
- Easily make crockpot Broccoli Pie, no need for steamed broccoli step!
- Mix all the ingredients following the recipe and place in slow cooker.
- Fold in fresh broccoli, stirring gently.
- Cook on low for 5-6 hours or on high for 2-3 hours.
- If using frozen broccoli, thaw and drain first and reduce cook time by at least an hour (on low).
Variations
- Veggies: If your family isn’t crazy for broccoli, swap it out for cauliflower or thick sliced zucchini and summer squash. You can also just add veggies like diced bell pepper or mushrooms.
- Topping: Give your pie a crispy topping with a 1 ½ cups of panko breadcrumbs, French fried onions, crushed cornflakes, or potato chips mixed with 2 tablespoons of melted butter.
- Cheese: Instead of shredded cheddar, use Swiss cheese or mozzarella cheese. To make creamy pie, use ricotta cheese or cottage cheese and reduce the milk by ¼ cup.
- Pie Crust: Turn this pie into a true pot pie by baking in a store bought pie crust (thawed). Use two crusts and top the pie with one crust with slits cut for vents.
- Low Carb: To replace the biscuit mix, substitute ¼ cup blanched almond flour, ¼ teaspoon gluten free baking powder, ¼ teaspoon Monkfruit (or Stevia) sugar and ⅛ teaspoon salt.
- Spice: Add some diced jalapeno, cayenne pepper or a few dashes of hot sauce to spice this veggie casserole up.
