Ingredients

  • 8 ounces cheddar cheese grated and divided
  • 12 large eggs
  • 4 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 12 tablespoons butter melted (I used unsalted), SEE NOTE
  • salt and pepper to taste optional

Instructions

  • Dump all but about a half cup of the cheese into a 9.5-inch deep dish pie pan. If the batter doesn't fit in your pie pan, excess batter can be placed in individual ramekins and microwaved or baked separately.
  • Add eggs and cream cheese to a food processor or blender.
  • Process eggs and cream while slowly pouring in melted butter.
  • Pour egg mixture over cheese in pie pan.
  • Sprinkle reserved grated cheese over top.
  • Bake at 325°F for about 45 minutes or until outside is set and middle is only a little jiggly.
  • Remove from oven and cool on rack for a few minutes before slicing.
  • Store leftovers in refrigerator for up to a week or freezer for longer storage.

Notes

If you aren't egg-fasting, you may want to reduce the amount of butter to at least half. The recipe was created as an egg fast meal where every egg is eaten with a tablespoon of fat (in this case butter). There's no need to add that much fat to this recipe if you aren't egg fasting.
