Broccoli and Cheese Pie

👨‍🍳 Method

1. 1
   Preheat the oven to 180°C (355°F). Grease a 24 cm pan with a little of the oil.

   ⚙ Preheating the OvenOvenBaking pan

   💡Put things in the oven only once it's reached temperature, after the heating light has gone off: an oven that hasn't reached temperature changes baking times, and the bake burns outside or stays underbaked.
2. 2
   Cook the vegetables in boiling salted water 5 minutes, until it softens.

   💡The water should taste like a seasoned soup, not like sea water: a heaping teaspoon of salt per liter. Add the salt once the water is boiling.

   Drain the vegetables.

    💡Check by the cue (until…), not just the clock: every oven bakes a little differently.

    Let cool 10 minutes before cutting.

    💡Resting before cutting sets the pie: cut straight out of the oven, it is still soft inside and the slices fall apart.
