Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces large eggs
- 0.5 cups half-and-half
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.5 cups yellow onion, diced
- 0.5 cups green bell pepper, diced
- 0.5 cups red bell pepper, diced
- 1 cups cooked ham, diced
- 1 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 9-inch crust frozen pie crust, thawed
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, half-and-half, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Set aside.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt the butter. Add the diced onion, green bell pepper, and red bell pepper. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
Add the diced ham to the skillet and cook for another 2 minutes to warm through. Remove the skillet from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
Place the thawed 9-inch pie crust onto a baking sheet for stability. Evenly spread the sautéed vegetable and ham mixture inside the pie crust.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the mixture.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the filling, allowing it to settle and fill in the gaps.
Transfer the pie to the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the egg is set and the top is lightly golden.
Remove from the oven and let the pie cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm and enjoy your Denver Omelette Pie!
