Cheddar Cheese Pie

This is a basic Cheddar Cheese savory pie that's in a premade crust loaded with cheddar and if you would like to add meats and other vegetables we got you covered.

We love mushrooms and usually add them.

This pie is great with cooked drained loose meat, ham, broccoli, cauliflower, and just about anything else you may have leftover in the fridge that goes great with cheddar especially crispy bacon!

It's basically a quiche with cheddar however the skies the limit on additions.

Whether you are vegetarian or a meat lover, this can be adapted exactly to how you like your baked quiche, after all, it's just like eating cheesy eggs baked but in a crust!
