1 hrsThis is the kind of hearty, feed-a-crowd pie that deserves a permanent spot in your recipe rotation.
Diced ham, sweet corn, sauteed peppers, and shredded cheddar get bound together with eggs and milk, then tucked between two layers of flaky pie crust in a big slab pan.
One hour in the oven and you’ve got a golden, savory pie that slices into neat squares.
It’s equally at home as a weeknight dinner, a brunch centerpiece, or a potluck hero.
Best part? It freezes unbaked, so you can prep now and bake later whenever the craving hits.
Pro Tips
- Cut steam vents in the top crust so the filling doesn’t get soggy from trapped moisture
- Let the pie rest for a few minutes after baking so it sets up and cuts cleanly into squares
- To bake from frozen, skip thawing and bake at a higher temperature for about 35 minutes until golden
- Swap corn for mixed vegetables if you want more variety in every bite
