Summer Garden Veggie Pie Ingredients

It’s officially garden season again, and I’ve got fresh vegetables coming out of my ears. Not only do I have a garden at my house (my Dad’s garden), but I also get a weekly CSA box from the Purdue Student Farms, and I like to get veggies at the farmer’s market. I just can’t turn down fresh veggies in any variety.

Eventually, I start to panic because I don’t want the veggies to go bad, so I’m always looking for ways to use up large quantities of fresh veggies.

Apparently, I’m not the only one who has this problem, because I found this Summer Garden Vegetable Pie recipe in an old cook book from Brown County, Indiana. I can imagine that the lady who submitted this probably had the same scenario at her house.

• Fresh Broccoli
• Fresh Cauliflower
• Chopped Onion
• Diced Green Pepper
• Shredded Cheddar Cheese
• Large Eggs
• Milk
• Bisquick Biscuit Mix (all purpose)
• Salt

Bisquick Impossible Vegetable Pie

This veggie pie uses Bisquick and eggs to make a version of an impossible pie recipe. Many of the impossible pie recipes are sweet (like this Pumpkin Impossible Pie), but many of the recipes can be savory (like this Chicken Parmesan Impossible Pie).

Impossible Pies typically include Bisquick which somehow makes it’s own crust during the baking process. In those terms, think of this Impossible Veggie Pie as a quiche that forms a crust in the oven.

The recipe is quite versatile; you could truly use whatever garden veggies you have on hand that need to be used up.

Recipe FAQs

• Do not overcook the broccoli and cauliflower because they will continue to cook in the oven.
• If desired, boil the broccoli cauliflower mixture in salted water instead of steaming.
• I use a 9-inch pie plate.
• Be sure to let the garden veggie pie cool slightly before cutting.
• If desired, serve at room temperature like a quiche.

Recipe Variations for Summer Garden Vegetable Pie

• Start with frozen broccoli and/or cauliflower instead of fresh. Cook according to package instructions but be sure to not overcook.
• Instead of a combination, use all broccoli or all cauliflower.
• Onions can be omitted, or use green onions instead of white or yellow onions.
• Any color of bell pepper would work including red pepper, yellow pepper or orange pepper. For heat, add some jalapeno pepper.
• Add fresh herbs such as fresh dill, thyme, basil, chives, etc.
• Use whatever variety of milk you prefer.
• Switch up the types of shredded cheese, or use whatever you have on hand. Havarti, Swiss cheese, mozzarella cheese, etc. would all be delicious.
• Use other vegetables such as asparagus, mushrooms, carrots, potatoes, squash, zucchini, tomatoes, etc. instead of broccoli or cauliflower. It’s the perfect way to use up garden veggies.
