Ingredients

• 2 cups fresh green beans
• 1 small yellow onion
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 3 large eggs
• 1 cup milk
• 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon cooking oil
• 1 teaspoon unsalted butter

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish with unsalted butter and set aside.

Step 2

Trim the ends of the green beans and cut them into bite-sized pieces. Steam or blanch the green beans until tender-crisp, about 3-4 minutes. Drain and set aside.

Step 3

Finely dice the onion and mince the garlic.

Step 4

Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the cooking oil. Sauté the onion and garlic for 3-4 minutes until softened and fragrant. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper until smooth and free of lumps.

Step 6

Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, sautéed onion and garlic, and green beans. Mix until evenly combined.

Step 7

Pour the mixture into the prepared pie dish and smooth out the top with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the center is set and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Step 9

Allow the pie to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy!
