Ingredients

  • 3 eggs
  • 1 c. milk
  • ground pepper
  • Optional: 1 frozen pie shell (there are good gluten free options out there!)

Filling (Mix & match from the following options – my favorite combos include: just spinach & cheese! Or artichoke, spinach, ham, sundried tomatoes and goat cheese! 🙂

  • Spinach
  • Artichoke
  • Broccoli
  • Onion
  • Mushrooms
  • Ham (Canadian bacon), bacon, smoked salmon
  • Cheese (mozzarella, cheddar, parmesan, goat)

Assembly

  • Put the desired filling ingredients in your pie shell or directly in a greased pie pan (I use a 9″ deep dish round pan)
  • Put milk & eggs in a blender and mix it up, then pour over filling
  • Sprinkle with cheese

Bake @ 350 for 45 minutes or until knife inserted in middle shows firm (non-runny) center

Ingredients

  • 3 onions
  • 2 Tbsp butter
  • 5 eggs
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream, half’n’half, milk or plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup Swiss or cheddar cheese, shredded

Directions

  • Melt butter in large frying pan
  • Thinly slice onions by running them through the food processor on the slicer blade (takes <60 seconds)
  • Saute onions in butter for 30 mins on medium heat, stirring once in a while, until onions are translucent, soft, and started to brown and caramelize
  • If they have not started to brown, turn up heat and caramelize them a bit, stirring so as not to let them burn
  • While onions are cooking, whisk eggs and milk or yogurt
  • Cover glass pie pan with cooking spray, add onions, cheese, and pour egg/milk mixture evenly over it
  • Bake for 30 minutes on 350* or until golden brown around edges, bubbly and hot
  • Serve warm, great paired with soup and salad!
