Ingredients
  

  • 1 ea Prepared Pie Crust or Puff Pastry (docked)
  • 4 ea Eggs Jumbo
  • 1/2 cup Milk Whole
  • 1/2 cup Whipping Cream
  • 1/4 tsp Salt Adjust if using heavy salt add ins
  • 1/4 tsp Black Pepper
  • ~1 cup Grated Cheese
  • ~2 cup Add-ins See notes
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese Fresh grated

Instructions
 

  • Assuming a prepared pie crust, blind bake according to package instructions
  • Allow crust to cool
  • Adjust or preheat oven to 350
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer beat eggs, milk, cream, salt, pepper, get a bit of air and lift in, (~1 minute)
  • Fold in prepared add ins
  • Pour gently into pie crust.
  • Top with Parmesan
  • Bake until center is set, ~45 - 55 minutes
  • Cool and let set for 15 minutes

Notes

The crust should be blind-baked for flakiness.
Add-Ins to the filling should be pre-cooked and drained well to avoid greasy, soggy messes.
One can add:
  • Cooked cubed ham
  • Crispy Bacon
  • Caramelized onions
  • Browned mushrooms
  • Cooked spinach
  • Fresh parsley 
  • Assorted cheeses
  • Sauteed diced bell peppers
  • Seeded, minced Jalapeno
For this base, 1 cup of cheese and 2 cups of veggies are needed at most .
Serve with a fruit cup, or salad.  
This was always a hit in the Bad Wolf Kitchen, leftovers can be refrigerated and eaten cold, or reheated in a microwave. (And around the lair there were rarely any leftovers of anything)
