Ingredients
  • Crust:
  • 1½ cups whole wheat flour
  • ½ cup butter, melted
  • 2 tbsp milk
  • pinch of sea salt
  • Filling:
  • 1 cup of broccoli, chopped into small florets (about ½ head)
  • 1.5 cups milk
  • 4 eggs, beaten
  • ½ cup stilton (about 120g)
  • Salt and Pepper to taste
Method
  1. Preheat oven to 375F/190C
  2. Grease a 9 inch pie dish, set aside
  3. In a large bowl, combine flour, butter, milk and salt with a fork, keep stirring until a dough forms (you may have to get in there with your hands at the end). Press the dough into the greased pie dish, and pop it into the fridge while you prepare your filling
  4. Bring a large pot of water to the boil, add broccoli and cook for 3-4 minutes until tender, but still with a bite. Drain well and allow to cool while you whisk together the rest of the filling ingredients. If you're in a rush you could plunge them into an ice bath, but I usually don't bother :)
  5. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk with a little salt and pepper. Crumble in the stilton, and whisk again to combine
  6. Remove the crust from the fridge, and arrange the broccoli florets in the crust in a single layer. Pour the cheesy egg mixture over the top.
  7. Bake in the oven for 35-40 minutes until the filling is set
