The secret to making an outstanding pie is using fresh ingredients. For this recipe, you will need:
– One uncooked pie crust
– 1 head broccoli, chopped
– 6-8 strips bacon, chopped
– 1 onion, diced
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 4 ounces Camembert cheese, cubed
– 2 eggs
– 1/2 cup heavy cream
– 1/2 tsp salt
– 1/4 tsp black pepper
Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F. Unroll your pie crust and place it in your pie dish. Prick the crust with a fork to prevent air bubbles from forming, and set aside.
Next, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add in the onion and garlic and cook until fragrant, for about a minute. Mix in the bacon and cook until it becomes crispy, for 5-7 minutes. Reduce the heat and add in the chopped broccoli. Stir occasionally until the broccoli is tender but still firm, for about 10 minutes.
Once the broccoli is cooked, remove the skillet from heat and add in the cubed Camembert cheese. Stir until the cheese is completely melted. Allow the mixture to cool for 5 minutes, then spoon it into the pie crust.
In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream until fully combined. Add in salt and black pepper to taste. Pour the mixture over the broccoli and bacon filling in the crust, making sure to distribute it evenly.
Bake the pie in the oven for 30-35 minutes or until the filling is set and golden brown. Remove from heat and allow it to cool for a few minutes before serving.
