Impossible Pie

Impossible Pie is not as impossible as it seems!

This recipe for Impossible Pie is super easy to follow, and you’ll love how great it tastes! Best of all – it costs under $10 to make for a family of four!

An Impossible Pie is a pie that you throw all the ingredients into one bowl and pop in the oven, and whilst it is cooking it ‘Impossibly’ turns into a base, filling and crust.  It is delicious and perfect for lunch or even cold for a school lunch box!  I love this recipe for Meat Free Mondays just cram loads of veggies and cheese in there and leave out the bacon.

If you happen to have a pizza stone – pop it in the oven when you are pre-heating as it just gives the base that extra bit of crispness!

For extra yumminess – instead of using plain flour in the recipe – try a scone mix (or if you are located overseas, I think you might call it ‘Bisquick’.  The CWA Scone Mix is by far the best one – it really adds a whole new dimension of taste (but more calories too!).
