Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup milk
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter

Dry Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Fillings

  • 1 cup grated cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup cooked bacon or chopped ham (optional)
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 1/2 cup chopped bell pepper
  • 1/2 cup grated zucchini or chopped spinach

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish or baking dish to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and melted butter until thoroughly combined, creating a smooth base.
  3. Add Dry Ingredients: Stir in the flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Whisk this mixture until smooth and free of lumps.
  4. Incorporate Fillings: Gently fold in the grated cheddar cheese, chopped onion, bell pepper, zucchini or spinach, and cooked bacon or ham if using. Ensure the fillings are evenly distributed.
  5. Pour and Bake: Pour the batter mixture into the prepared pie dish, spreading it out evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes or until the pie is golden brown and set in the center.
  6. Rest and Serve: Allow the pie to rest for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm for best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • This pie is highly adaptable—use any vegetables or proteins you have available.
  • To make it vegetarian, omit the bacon or ham completely.
  • Pair it with a simple salad to create a balanced, complete meal.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated within 3 days without losing quality.
