Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece pre-made pie crust (9-inch)
- 1.5 cups Muenster cheese, shredded
- 1.5 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 1.25 cups heavy cream
- 0.25 cups whole milk
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper, freshly ground
- 2 teaspoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Roll out the pre-made pie crust and carefully press it into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim any excess crust hanging over the edges.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the shredded Muenster cheese and cheddar cheese. Set aside.
In a separate large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, whole milk, melted butter, all-purpose flour, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well-combined.
Sprinkle half of the cheese mixture evenly over the bottom of the pie crust.
Pour half of the egg mixture over the cheese layer, ensuring it’s evenly distributed.
Add the remaining cheese mixture on top, followed by the remaining egg mixture.
Gently tap the pie dish on the counter to release any air bubbles and ensure the filling is evenly distributed.
Place the pie dish on a baking sheet to catch any potential drips, then transfer it to the preheated oven.
Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the cheese pie is puffed up, golden brown on top, and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cheese pie to cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing to allow the filling to set.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, and serve warm or at room temperature.
