Cheesy Broccoli Pie

March 22-23, 2019

We had a weekend away inwards the dry reason amongst a large grouping of friends lately together with nighttime 2 of our communal dining schedule was Pie Night. H5N1 few of us brought pre-prepared fillings together with baked upward a plethora of pies to feed the masses. Our contribution was a vegan cheesy broccoli pie from the Smith & Deli cookbook. It was wonderful, providing a overnice flare-up of greens to kickoff the shepherd's together with mushroom pies that others prepared. The cheesy sauce is pretty horrifying from a nutritional perspective, but it's goddamn delicious - gooey together with a flake rich together with the perfect pal for the broccoli. Highly recommended.
