Creamy Broccoli Almond Pie (Paye Broccoli)
"Indulge in a velvety, nutrient-dense masterpiece where garden-fresh broccoli meets the sophisticated crunch of almonds in a golden, custardy finish."
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 200°C (392°F). Lightly butter a baking dish and set it aside.
In a pan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes, until soft and lightly golden.
Stir in the grated garlic and cook for about 30 seconds, just until fragrant.
Add the chopped broccoli, salt, and black pepper. Reduce the heat to low and cook for about 5 minutes, allowing the broccoli to soften slightly while keeping its vibrant color. Remove from heat.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and cream. Season lightly with salt and a pinch of nutmeg.
Combine the broccoli mixture with the egg and cream mixture. Gently fold in the chopped almonds.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and smooth the surface.
Bake on the middle rack for about 30 minutes, or until the pie is set and lightly golden on top.
Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
