The broccoli cheddar flavors in Broccoli Pie go with just about any meal. For a fancy Easter dinner, serve Broccoli Pie 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.
You can make Broccoli Pie ahead of time, either baked or unbaked. Store an unbaked Broccoli 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.
To turn Broccoli Pie into an easy complete meal, add cooked diced ham or chicken breast for a pot pie without the pie crust kind of dinner. If you are adding meat and vegetables to make Broccoli Pie heartier, use a 9×13 casserole dish instead of the pie plate.

Can you use frozen broccoli in Broccoli Pie?
You can use frozen broccoli instead of fresh broccoli in this recipe with an 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.

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 Broccoli 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. For a creamy Broccoli pie, use ricotta cheese or cottage cheese and reduce the milk by a ¼ cup.
- Pie Crust: Turn Broccoli 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.
