  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

  3. Add the beaten eggs and stir until fully incorporated.
  4. Pour the mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly.

  6. 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.
