Prep Time: 10 min 

Cook Time: 30 min 

Serves 8 

Ingredients:

• 1 tbsp butter or olive oil for the pan
• 1 (16 oz) package of frozen, chopped broccoli (or 1 cup fresh chopped)

• ¼ tsp black pepper
• 1 tsp garlic powder 
• ¼ cup chopped scallions/green onions (optional but recommended)
• 1 cup (4 oz) sharp cheddar cheese 

Directions: 

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Grease a 9 inch pie dish.
