Observations
The broccoli pie is a vegetarian dish that wins everyone over with its blend of creamy mashed potatoes and the bold flavor of sautéed broccoli. This recipe is simple to prepare and is ready quickly in the oven.
Pro tip: for a perfectly smooth mash, press the potatoes while they are still hot and use a whisk when adding the milk. If you fancy an extra touch, sprinkle some parmesan cheese on top before placing it in the oven to broil.
