Broccoli is one of the foods that usually people don't know how to cook. Apart from serving boiled or as some kind of cold salad. As a kid I hated broccoli, my mother used to brain wash me about how healthy it was.But I always looked at broccoli as a useless veggie.Growing up and becoming a mother myself , I realized How Healthy this Veggie is.Trying to convince a two years old pre schooler to eat veggies ,I started to think of a new way to cook broccoli so my kid (and I) will eat it.So I discovered the broccoli pie.A friend of mine cooked it once and I was amazed of how good it really taseted.Franckly, when you add grated cheese, anything becomes tasty!
This Broccoli pie is better the day after you prepare it, so don't expect any leftovers!
