Layered pie with broccoli and cheese
Description
Perfect with tea and coffee. Broccoli itself is very healthy. To make the filling tastier and more delicate, add cheese. But not hard cheese—use several types of soft and tender cheeses: ricotta will add creaminess, while mozzarella and feta will provide a salty note. You can use either fresh or frozen broccoli to make this layered broccoli and cheese pie. Serve cooled or slightly warm.

Step 2
Prepare the filling: finely chop the spinach and broccoli (I used fresh vegetables and greens; if using frozen ones, boil them in advance, let them cool, then finely chop). Add the eggs, spices, minced garlic, and all three types of cheese. Mix thoroughly with a fork.

Step 5
Cover with the edges of the dough, place the remaining piece of puff pastry on top, and brush with egg. Seal the edges by moistening with water or pressing with a fork (this will also create a beautiful pattern). Bake the pie in a preheated oven at 170°C for one hour.

Step 6
Serve the ready-made broccoli and cheese layered pie when it has cooled. It will be easier to cut then.
