About this Recipe
Broccoli Pie can be compared to a broccoli cheddar quiche, just made without a pie crust. It’s got an egg and biscuit mix filling that makes it heartier. If you want to make this completely from scratch, you can use this recipe for Homemade Buttermilk Biscuits instead of the box mix.
The broccoli cheddar flavors here go with just about any meal. For Easter dinner serve this casserole 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. This pie will also be at home at the table set for a fantastic brunch.
Chef’s Note
To turn this pie into an easy complete meal, add cooked diced ham or chicken breast for a dinner that will remind you of a pot pie without the pie crust. If you are adding meat and vegetables to make the dish heartier, use a 9×13-inch casserole dish instead of the pie plate.
Can this be made ahead of time?
You can make this dish 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 pie in the refrigerator overnight before baking. Add 10 minutes to the baking time when cooking a chilled pie.

Slow Cooker

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.
