Cheese Pie Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ¾ cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ to 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 9-inch pie plate or baking dish with butter or cooking spray to ensure easy removal after baking.
- Prepare Ingredients: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, beat the eggs using a whisk until they are smooth and slightly frothy.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: Add the milk to the eggs, whisking thoroughly to combine into a uniform mixture.
- Add Flour: Gradually add the all-purpose flour to the wet ingredients, whisking continuously to avoid lumps until the batter is smooth and creamy.
- Incorporate Cheese and Seasonings: Gently fold in the shredded mozzarella and sharp cheddar cheeses. Add the kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, stirring until evenly distributed.
- Assemble Pie: Pour the cheese batter into the prepared pie plate. Use a spatula to spread it evenly, ensuring the cheese is well distributed throughout.
- Bake: Place the pie dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. The pie will puff slightly during baking and settle as it cools.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the pie to cool for approximately 5 minutes before slicing. Serve warm to enjoy the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Adjust the amount of black pepper according to your taste preference.
- This pie is best served warm but can be enjoyed at room temperature as well.
- Use freshly shredded cheese for better melting and flavor compared to pre-shredded varieties.
- Ensure the batter is smooth to avoid lumps in the pie texture.
- You can add herbs like thyme or parsley for additional flavor if desired.
