A savory, crustless vegetable quiche with a golden cheesy top
Impossible Garden Vegetable Pie recipe image

This “Impossible” pie gets its name from the fact that it requires no pastry crust. Instead, Bisquick or baking mix forms a tender, biscuit-like base that bakes up golden brown along with the vegetables. It is a comforting, savory dish featuring broccoli or cauliflower, onions, green peppers, and cheddar cheese in a rich egg and milk custard. Perfect for a light dinner, a vegetarian side dish, or a quick weeknight meal, this recipe brings home-style flavor to the table with minimal effort. The combination of fresh garden vegetables and sharp cheddar creates a satisfying texture and robust flavor profile that pairs well with a simple green salad.

Note

You can substitute 10 oz frozen chopped broccoli or cauliflower (thawed and drained) for the fresh vegetables.

Do not overcook the initial vegetable boiling; they should be just tender-crisp as they will continue to cook in the oven.

Garnish with fresh tomato slices and parsley if desired for added color and freshness.

Ensure all vegetables are thoroughly drained to prevent a watery pie.
