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)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Sprinkle the shredded Swiss cheese evenly over the bottom of the pie crust.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, and heavy cream until smooth and well combined.
Step 5
Stir in the salt, ground black pepper, and nutmeg (if using).
Step 6
Carefully pour the egg mixture over the cheese in the pie crust, ensuring the liquid is evenly distributed.
Step 7
Place the pie dish on a baking sheet to catch any spills and carefully transfer it to the preheated oven.
Step 8
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.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and let the pie cool for about 10 minutes before slicing.
Step 10
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your delicious Swiss Cheese Pie!
