Instructions

- Add the beaten eggs and stir until fully incorporated.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly.
- Bake for 30–35 minutes or until the top is golden and the center is set.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing.

Notes
- For a crustless version, simply grease the pie dish and pour the filling directly into it.
- Make it spicier by adding a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce.
- Customize the cheese by swapping cheddar for Swiss, Monterey Jack, or mozzarella.
- For extra crunch, sprinkle breadcrumbs on top before baking.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for later use.
