Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pie crust (9-inch, pre-made or homemade)
- 5 large eggs
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup cooked spinach, chopped
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place a baking sheet on the middle rack while the oven heats.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, heavy cream, salt, and pepper until smooth. Stir in shredded cheese, cooked spinach, and cherry tomatoes.
- Roll out your pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish. Press it gently into place and crimp the edges.
- Pour the egg mixture into the prepared crust, spreading the filling evenly.
- Place the dish on the preheated baking sheet and bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the center is set and top is golden.
- Remove from oven and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Blind baking the crust helps avoid sogginess—bake for 10 minutes before adding filling.
- Let sautéed veggies cool before mixing to avoid scrambling the eggs.
- Use freshly shredded cheese for better flavor and melting.
