Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons butter (melted)
- 1 as needed cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly grease a 9x9-inch (or similar-sized) baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until fully combined.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.
Slowly add the dry ingredients to the egg mixture, whisking constantly to avoid lumps.
Stir in the melted butter and 1 3/4 cups of the shredded cheddar cheese, reserving 1/4 cup for topping.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Sprinkle the reserved 1/4 cup of cheddar cheese over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the egg bake is puffed, golden, and set in the center.
Let it cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
