This Broccoli Bacon and Cheese Impossible Pie makes a great easy family dinner and is also freezer friendly too. Both regular and Thermomix instructions are included.
This latest version of my favourite Impossible Pie recipe may just be the best one I’ve made! In an attempt to help my kids eat more greens (in particular broccoli which we had a surplus of recently) I decided to add it along with our other favourite ingredients to create this easy family dinner.
Two out of three of my boys went back for seconds and one actually ate most of it – which I consider to be a huge win! For a vegetarian version, you can leave out the bacon. Alternatively you can also use ham instead of bacon if that’s what you have in your fridge.
When serving this recipe, you can simply serve it on it’s own or we also love it with some roasted veggies and creamy pasta. It’s also great cold, and I’ve sent it to school in the boys lunch boxes with great success.
Tips for making this Broccoli Bacon and Cheese Impossible Pie\Crustless Quiche:
- This recipe is freezer friendly and can be stored for up to two months.
- You can add extra vegetables to the mixture.
- If you don’t have bacon, you can use ham instead.
