Potato and broccoli pie

:Ingredients:
  • 2 broccoli stalks
  • 2 red-skinned potatoes, such as Désirée 
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 250gr soft cheese (5%, farmer's)
  • 20gr butter
  • 3 tablesp oatmeal
  • 2 tablesp whole wheat flour
  • 2 tablesp wheat germ 
  • 1 teasp baking powder
  • 2 eggs, room temperature
  • 3 tablesp grated hard cheese
  • Salt, pepper, nutmeg
  • 1 tablesp cooking oil (like canola)


:Equipment:
  • Large cooking pot
  • Strainer / steaming basket 
  • Large and small mixing bowls
  • Silicon spatula
  • Egg whisk or a fork 
  • Sheet of baking paper
  • Round baking pan with detachable base (for this amount, I used a 9.5" / 24cm diameter)

:Prepping:
  • Peel the two potatoes and cut, about 1"/ 3cm medium size cubes. 
  • Separate broccoli florets and put in a strainer or a steaming basket.
  • Boil 2 cups of water in a large cooking pot. 
  • Add potatoes and a teaspoon of salt to the water. Top the pot with steaming basket or a strainer with the broccoli florets. The idea is that both cook simultaneously, but in different ways: steam the greens, boil the potatoes. Cover with lid and cook on high heat for about 20 minutes.
  • Strain cooked vegs and put in the large mixing bowl to cool off.
  • Cut butter to 0.5" / 1cm cubes and leave at room temperature.
  • Preheat oven to 350º Fahrenheit / 175º Celsius.

:Cooking:
  • Add the 250gr soft cheese (5%) to the cooked vegetables in a large mixing bowl.  Season with crushed garlic clove, salt and ground black pepper. Stir in lightly with spatula.
  • Whisk eggs in a small mixing bowl, add grated cheese and eggs to the large bowl and mix lightly together.
  • Add the oatmeal, whole wheat flour, wheat germ, butter cubes, and baking powder and stir in lightly.  A light stir preserves the natural texture differences and gives the pie a better taste.
  • Oil the baking sheet lightly and line the baking pan.
  • Pour pie mixture into the pan.
  • Bake in oven or toaster oven, 350 ºF / 175 ºC for 35-40 minutes.
  • Leave in oven for about 20 minutes to set.
