Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 6 tablespoons cold water
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1.5 cups cheese (shredded)
- 1 cup mixed vegetables (chopped)
- 1 cup protein of choice (cooked and diced)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon herbs or spices of choice
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and a pinch of salt. Cut the unsalted butter into small cubes and work it into the flour using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing with a fork until the dough comes together. Form the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the chilled dough into a 12-inch circle. Carefully transfer it into a 9-inch pie dish, trimming any excess dough along the edges.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, ground black pepper, and herbs or spices of your choice.
Sprinkle half of the shredded cheese evenly over the pie crust base. Layer the mixed vegetables and cooked protein on top, followed by the remaining cheese.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the fillings, ensuring it coats the layers and fills any gaps.
Place the pie dish on a baking sheet to catch any potential spills and bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown.
Allow the pie to cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your customizable 'Possible Pie'!
