Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece Pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
- 2 cups Muenster cheese, shredded
- 4 large Eggs
- 1.5 cups Heavy cream
- 0.5 cups Whole milk
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.125 teaspoons Ground nutmeg (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Roll out the pie crust (if not pre-rolled) and press it into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim any excess crust hanging over the edges. Poke the bottom of the crust with a fork to prevent air bubbles.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, whole milk, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg (if using) until fully combined.
Spread the shredded Muenster cheese evenly across the bottom of the prepared pie crust.
Pour the egg and cream mixture over the cheese, ensuring it fills the crust evenly.
Place the pie dish on a baking sheet to catch any potential spills, and transfer it to the preheated oven.
Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the center of the pie is set and the top is golden brown.
Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing.
Garnish with fresh chopped parsley if desired, and serve warm or at room temperature.
