Ingredients
Scale
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup milk (whole milk, half and half, or unsweetened plain dairy free milk)
- 1 to 1.5 cups shredded cheese (cheddar, Swiss, mozzarella, or a mix)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Optional flavor boosters: garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, Italian seasoning, or Dijon mustard (1 tsp)
- Fillings: 1 to 2 cups Cooked turkey or chicken, sautéed onions or mushrooms, spinach (squeezed dry if using frozen), broccoli florets (steamed or sautéed), bell peppers
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F.
- Grease a 9-inch pie dish with butter or oil spray, ensuring the sides are coated.
- Cook your mix-ins if needed (onions, mushrooms, peppers or broccoli) to prevent excess moisture.
- Whisk the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and any dried seasoning in a big bowl.
- Add cheese and fillings, then stir gently.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared dish.
- Bake for 35 to 45 minutes until the center is set and jiggles slightly.
- Rest for 10 minutes before slicing for cleaner cuts.
Notes
Do not overbake. Allowing it to rest helps maintain a creamy texture. Variations include adding spinach, asparagus, and different cheeses.
