Servings 6

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Pie Crust
  • 2 tablespoons Butter
  • 2 tablespoons Flour
  • 8 oz Milk
  • 2 tablespoons Grainy Mustard
  • ½ pound Broccoli
  • 3 Tomatoes medium
  • ¼ pound Blue Cheese
  • 3 Eggs

Instructions
 

  • Have a pie pan lined with the pie crust and ready to go.
  • Wash and chop up the broccoli into small pieces; zap for 5 minutes in microwave with a bit of water to lightly cook it, then drain. Set aside.
  • Cut the tomatoes up into eighths, set aside.
  • Start oven heating to 180 C / 350 F / Gas Mark 4.
  • Make a white sauce by melting the butter in a pan, mixing in the flour, cooking it for a minute, then whisking in the milk. Simmer until thickened, whisking frequently until thick. Remove from heat; stir in mustard.
  • In the lined pie shell, scatter the broccoli and tomatoes, [optional: also a handful or two of another cheese such as Swiss or cheddar, grated] then crumble the blue cheese around and over it. Break the eggs into the white sauce, whisk them in, then pour the sauce over the broccoli, cheese and tomatoes.
  • Bake for about 40 minutes or until knife comes out clean.

Notes

This probably won't need any pepper, and will taste salty enough from the cheese.
Instead of the 3 medium tomatoes, you can use about ½ pound (200 g) of cherry or grape tomatoes.
