Reduced-Fat Impossibly Easy Vegetable Pie
"I took Bisquick's Impossibly Easy Vegetable Pie and bulked it up with extra veggies and lowered the fat by substituting fat-free milk and cheese and self-rising flour for the Bisquick. It is a completely delicious and low-cal vegetarian dish that would work for a savory breakfast, a brunch, lunch and I've even served it for dinner. You can substitute cauliflower for the broccoli or try half of each. I just love the broccoli too much to try anything else!"

This was pretty good and easy and quick to put together. My boyfriend and I could have easily ate the whole thing for dinner as it was pretty lite. I cooked my broccoli in the microwave in water for 3 minutes and wished I only cooked it for maybe 1 minute or maybe not cooked it before hand at all as in the pie it was mush. I used soymilk with no problems and added a bit of feta cheese, red pepper flakes, and basil to the top. I'm happy the ingredients are easy and I didn't have to go buy bisquick for this recipe. Thanks for posting! -
Very good and easy to make! I made this as a dinner side dish. I used a bag of frozen chopped broccoli and I also used frozen chopped peppers, cooking them both in the microwave first. Had a great taste and I would definitely make this again. Made for PAC Fall 2007.

I've always loved to bake but since joining Weight Watchers in March of 2007, I've relished cooking meals as well--trying new things and adapting recipes so that they're lower in fat and include more natural ingredients. I joined the Recipezaar community b/c I love that we can share our recipes here and the nutrition information is calculated for each one. What a great idea!
