Homemade cheese pie. This is not a quiche, my friends! It is not a custard. Rather, it’s a uniquely cheesy mixture. It’s creamy and smooth, with a gentle bite of cheddar and all the comfort you could ask for from a baking dish. It’s a cheese-filled, crowd-pleasing bake that’s ideal when you want something different from your typical casserole.

The ingredient list couldn’t be easier. You beat a couple of eggs, then whisk in some milk and flour, and finally add some shredded cheese and season to taste before baking. While we prefer mozzarella for its creaminess and cheddar for its sharpness, you can use any cheese you want. Cheese options include gouda, provolone, goat, Swiss, and pepper jack.While we prefer it for breakfast, it is a quick bake that is suitable for any time of day.

We’ve never received a complaint when we served it for supper, and lunch is clearly within its wheelhouse as well. It’s the ideal recipe to use when you’re short on time, ideas, or ingredients. It’s the type of last-minute supper that never fails to satisfy, and if we’re being honest, you can never have too many of those options on hand.
