  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice)
  • 1 pie crust pie crust (homemade or store-bought)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. If using a store-bought crust, fit it into a 9-inch pie plate, ensuring to press down on the edges.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream until well blended. Stir in the shredded cheese, and season with salt and pepper to taste. If desired, fold in the chopped vegetables.
  4. Carefully pour the egg mixture into the prepared pie crust.
Baking
  1. Place the pie in the oven and bake for about 30-35 minutes or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden.
  2. Once baked, let the pie cool for about 10 minutes before slicing.

Notes

For an easy variations, try different cheeses like mozzarella or gouda, and consider blind-baking your crust to keep it crispy. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
