Ingredients
- 1.5 cups cooked ham, diced
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup onion, finely chopped
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted and cooled
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish or a similarly sized baking dish with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
Step 2
Spread the diced ham evenly across the bottom of the prepared pie dish. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the ham. Top with the finely chopped onion, spreading it out evenly.
Step 3
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. This will ensure the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
Step 4
In a separate larger bowl, whisk the eggs until well beaten. Add the milk and melted butter to the eggs and whisk until fully combined.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, whisking continuously, until the batter is smooth and lump-free.
Step 6
Pour the batter evenly over the ham, cheese, and onions in the pie dish. Use a spatula to spread it out if necessary, ensuring everything is covered.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the pie is set. To check doneness, insert a toothpick into the center—it should come out clean.
Step 8
Allow the pie to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy warm as is, or pair with a fresh green salad!
