Ingredients
- 1 piece Pie crust (premade or homemade)
- 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 3 whole Fresh jalapenos, diced
- 3 whole Large eggs
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons Paprika (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place the pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish and set it aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded cheddar cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, and diced jalapenos. Spread this mixture evenly over the bottom of the pie crust.
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, and black pepper until fully combined and smooth.
Slowly pour the egg mixture over the cheese and jalapenos in the pie crust, ensuring an even distribution.
If using, lightly sprinkle paprika on top for added flavor and presentation.
Place the pie dish on the middle rack of the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown.
Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool for 10 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
