Crustless cheese pie is a great side dish or even breakfast. Made with eggs, cheese and onion and baked to perfection.

This is a recipe straight from my mom’s recipe box that she passed down to me. Cheese pie is a versatile dish that can be used as a side, lunch or breakfast. It is a simple version of a breakfast casserole.  

This is one of my favorite recipes to make when we have visitors. It is quick to assemble and everyone loves the simple flavors. You can customize this pie and add more veggies like diced peppers or mushrooms. This would also be delicious topped with some crumbled, cooked bacon for some extra protein.

Ingredients needed

• Cheese – You can use your favorite cheese blends. I like using shredded cheddar and jack or colby and Monterey jack. Shred your own or you can use the pre-shredded that you find at the store.
• Onion – This adds a little texture and taste. You can feel free to leave it out if you don’t like onion.
• Flour – All-purpose flour.
• Milk – Use whole for a richer flavor but 2% is also fine.
• Eggs – These help bind the cheese together.
• Seasonings – Dry mustard, salt and ground black pepper.
