Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece Pie crust (pre-made or homemade)
- 2 cups Swiss cheese, shredded
- 3 large Eggs
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.125 teaspoon Nutmeg, freshly grated (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Roll out the pie crust if using homemade dough, or place the pre-made crust into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim any excess and crimp the edges neatly.
Sprinkle the shredded Swiss cheese evenly over the bottom of the pie crust.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, and heavy cream until smooth and well combined.
Stir in the salt, ground black pepper, and nutmeg (if using).
Carefully pour the egg mixture over the cheese in the pie crust, ensuring the liquid is evenly distributed.
Place the pie dish on a baking sheet to catch any spills and carefully transfer it to the preheated oven.
Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is lightly golden. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean.
Remove from the oven and let the pie cool for about 10 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your delicious Swiss Cheese Pie!
