Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) while you prepare your pie dish. Grease a standard 9-inch pie dish with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 4 eggs and 1 cup of milk until smooth. Add in ½ cup of melted butter, 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, salt and pepper. Stir until just combined.
  3. Fold in 1 cup of grated cheddar cheese and any desired optional fillings. Pour the mixture into the prepared pie dish.
  4. Bake for 35–45 minutes until the top is golden brown and set in the center. Test with a knife; it should come out clean.
  5. Allow the pie to rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving warm or at room temperature.
