Ingredients

  • 1 uncooked fresh or frozen deep dish pie crust or make your own
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 ½ cups whole milk
  • 1 TBS flour
  • 1 TBS melted butter
  • Salt & pepper
  • ½ cup diced broccoli optional
  • 1 cup chopped ham
  • 6 ounces shredded Cheddar cheese

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grab your thawed store-bought pie crust and place it in a tin or pie plate or press your homemade pie crust into a pie dish then place it on a baking sheet. Set aside.
  • Whisk together the milk, eggs, flour, butter, salt, and pepper until combined. Stir in the broccoli if using, ham and cheese. Pour mixture into your pie crust, being careful not to overfill, and bake it on a baking sheet (in case of overflow) for 45-50 minutes or until the pie is puffed up and golden brown on top. Once removed from the oven, allow the pie to cool/set for at least 10 minutes.

Notes

Use whole milk, if using low-fat or skim, you will need to replace ½ cup of it with whipping or heavy cream. Feel free to add in any veggies you enjoy or replace the ham with cooked, crispy bacon or vegetables. And the tiny pans I mentioned are THE BOMB when it comes to making eggs. I have a 4 inch one and a 5 inch ceramic one…they are used more than any other item in my kitchen – they turn out perfect eggs and 2 egg omelets…every time! I actually need to get a few new ones…mine look like they have been through a battle or something – However they still do the job lol!
