Ingredients

• 1 piece Pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
• 2 cups Muenster cheese, shredded
• 4 large Eggs
• 1.5 cups Heavy cream
• 0.5 cups Whole milk
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.125 teaspoons Ground nutmeg (optional)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Roll out the pie crust (if not pre-rolled) and press it into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim any excess crust hanging over the edges. Poke the bottom of the crust with a fork to prevent air bubbles.

Step 3

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, whole milk, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg (if using) until fully combined.

Step 4

Spread the shredded Muenster cheese evenly across the bottom of the prepared pie crust.

Step 5

Pour the egg and cream mixture over the cheese, ensuring it fills the crust evenly.

Step 6

Place the pie dish on a baking sheet to catch any potential spills, and transfer it to the preheated oven.

Step 7

Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the center of the pie is set and the top is golden brown.

Step 8

Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing.

Step 9

Garnish with fresh chopped parsley if desired, and serve warm or at room temperature.
