I found this recipe printed in the bottom of a ceramic pie plate many years ago. This is my basic recipe but I change it up with different types of cheeses and vegetables.

Pour into pie shell. Bake 15 minutes. Do not remove from oven but lower oven temp to 300. Bake an additional 30 minutes or until knife comes out clean 1 inch from edge. Let stand 10 minutes before cutting.

For variations, substitute other cheeses and add vegetables such as spinach, mushrooms, brocolli or seafood, such as crabmeat or shrimp.
