📝 Directions
1️⃣ Preheat & Prepare
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9-inch pie dish to prevent sticking.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, flour, melted butter, salt, and pepper until the mixture is smooth and lump-free.
3️⃣ Add the Fillings
Gently fold in the cheese, diced ham, and chopped onions, ensuring an even distribution throughout the batter.
