omnomnomLet me make one thing totally clear: this is starchy, mid-century comfort food, so if that's not your scene, you will probably hate this recipe. It's not so much a pie as a moist, dense, cheese-flavored pancake baked in a pie tin. (Mmmm, are you salivating yet? I am!)
3/4 c. flour
1 c. milk
1 egg
salt & pepper to taste
1/2 c. grated cheese (Muenster or other mild cheese), plus extra for garnish
Whisk together everything but the cheese. Stir the 1/2 c. of cheese in and pour the batter into a greased pie tin (pie pan, pie plate, whatever they call it in your neck of the woods). Sprinkle additional cheese on top. Bake at 425 degrees F for 20-25 minutes, until brown around the edges and set in the middle.
You could tart this up any number of ways: herbs or spices, bits of sauteed onion, sharp cheddar, or what-have-you. I have done none of those things, because you just don't mess with the doughy, delicious perfection of childhood nostalgia! But if your mom didn't bake this for you on snow days in elementary school, you might feel more free to experiment *g*.
