For a richer flavor, use Gruyere or Swiss cheese in addition to Cheddar. To prevent the crust from becoming soggy, blind-bake it for 10 minutes before adding the filling. Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the broccoli mixture for a touch of heat. This pie is delicious served warm or at room temperature.

03 Step
Recipe View In a medium bowl, combine 3/4 cup Cheddar cheese, 3/4 cup flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and dry mustard. Add the 1/4 cup melted butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of an 8-inch pie dish to form a crust. (Prep time: 10 minutes)
