Ingredients

Scale

Liquid 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

Vegetables and Cheese

1 cup grated cheddar cheese
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped bell pepper
1/2 cup grated zucchini or chopped spinach

Optional

1/2 cup cooked bacon or chopped ham

Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish or similar baking dish to prevent sticking.
Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and melted butter until fully combined and smooth.
Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually whisk in the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper until the batter is smooth and has no lumps.
Incorporate Cheese and Vegetables: Gently fold in the grated cheddar cheese, chopped onion, bell pepper, zucchini (or spinach), and the cooked bacon or ham if using, ensuring even distribution throughout the mixture.
Prepare for Baking: Pour the batter mixture into the prepared pie dish and spread it out evenly for uniform cooking.
Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the pie is set in the center, which indicates it is cooked through.
Rest and Serve: Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to rest for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing. This helps the pie set and makes for easier serving.

Notes

You can substitute the vegetables with your preferred seasonal produce.
Using cooked bacon or ham is optional and can be omitted for a vegetarian version.
Letting the pie rest before slicing ensures cleaner cuts and better texture.
Serve warm for best flavor, accompanied by a fresh salad for a complete meal.
