Step 2

Line your pie plate with the crust and flute the edges,easier to do that now the later,pour in the egg mixture. Top with shredded mozzarella and grated cheese.
Step 3

Place the pie on a cookie sheet to prevent spillage in your oven while it's baking. Bake for 45 minutes to one hour,check it towards the end by inserting a toothpick in the center. If it comes out clean it's ready to serve. Let it rest for ten minutes before slicing.

This can be served with a side of salad,soup or vegetable,also cut fresh fruit if you prefer. Enjoy!! :)
