Broccoli pie with goat cheese


This week I have been and will be eating broccoli pie with goat cheese for lunch at work. I found the recipe in weekly newsletter from Årstiderne newsletter for week 31/2010 Årstiderne's weekly newsletter 31/2010.

The recipe is OK, but it is not perfect taste wise according to my taste buds. I will either double the amount of goat cheese next time as I can not really taste the GOAT or season the pie filling with nutmeg ???
The structure of the broccoli is perfect, as it is contains a good bide or perhaps you could call it being "al dente" ? I really kept an eye on the cooking time of ONE minutes for the broccoli.

The mentioned baking temperature and time did not work for my pie. I used 50 minutes to bake the pie at 175'C. So concider to increase the baking temperature to 200'C !!!
