The Broccoli and Cheese Pie is a delicious appetizer or side dish made with crispy puff pastry and a mix of creamy cheeses and broccoli. Its origin is uncertain, but it is said to have roots in traditional Italian cuisine. It is a dish rich in flavors and perfect for winter.
Wash the broccoli, drain them, divide them into florets, and boil them
Cook them for ten minutes
Peel and chop the garlic
Mash the goat cheese and mix it with the chosen white cheese
Break the eggs into a bowl, beat them with a fork, add salt, pepper, garlic, and oregano, and incorporate them into the various cheeses
Drain the broccoli and mix them with the previous preparation
Taste and adjust the seasoning
Preheat the oven to 230 degrees (thermostat 7)
Divide the puff pastry into two unequal parts: two-thirds and one-third
Roll out the larger part with a rolling pin and line a 24 cm diameter removable-bottom mold, leaving an excess edge all around
Pour the preparation into it and smooth the surface
Form a 24 cm diameter disc with the other part of the pastry
Add a teaspoon of water to the egg yolk intended for browning, beat it with a fork, and brush it over the surface of the preparation in the pie dish
Place the pastry disc on top and brush it with the egg yolk as well
Fold the edge with your fingers to seal it with the pastry lid
With a sharp knife, make a hole in the center of the pastry lid and keep it open with a small cardboard cylinder
Score the lid with the tines of a fork
Place in the oven and bake for twenty minutes
Reduce the temperature to 170 degrees (thermostat 5) and bake for another 25 minutes
Serve hot, warm, or cold
It is not necessary to butter the mold as the puff pastry is greasy and does not stick
Alternatively, you can prepare this pie without a lid
In this case, the puff pastry quantities should be halved
