Note

Frozen chopped broccoli or cauliflower (10 oz package, thawed and drained) may be substituted for fresh vegetables.

Do not overcook the broccoli before mixing; it should retain some firmness as it will continue to cook in the oven.

Ensure vegetables are thoroughly drained to prevent a watery pie.
