For a vegetarian option, substitute the ham with sautéed mushrooms or spinach. If you don't have a glass pie dish, a metal one will work, but keep a close eye on the crust to prevent burning. For a richer flavor, try using Gruyere or Swiss cheese in place of the Cheddar. The crust can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before filling and baking.

Apr 20, 2025The crust was a little soggy for me. Next time, I'll try baking it for a few minutes longer before adding the filling.
