  8. Stir the cooked vegetables and shredded Swiss cheese into the egg mixture.
  9. Pour the mixture into the prepared pie plate.

Note

Ensure the broccoli is well-drained to prevent the pie from becoming watery.

You can substitute Swiss cheese with cheddar or mozzarella if preferred.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

For a crispier top, broil for the last 1-2 minutes of baking, watching carefully to avoid burning.
