Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup Cooked ham, diced Use leftover ham for best results.
  • 1 cup Swiss cheese, shredded Freshly shredded cheese enhances flavor.
  • 4 large Eggs Large eggs preferred.
  • 1 cup Milk Any type of milk can be used.
  • 1 cup All-purpose flour For the batter.
  • 1/4 cup Butter, melted Melted for easy mixing.
  • 1/2 cup Onion, finely chopped Adds depth of flavor.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt Adjust to taste.
  • 1/4 teaspoon Pepper Adjust to taste.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Lightly grease a pie dish or baking dish to prevent sticking.
  2. Dice the cooked ham into bite-sized pieces. Shred the Swiss cheese if using a block for the freshest flavor.
  3. Spread the ham evenly across the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the Swiss cheese evenly over the top.
  4. In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, flour, melted butter, salt, and pepper until smooth. The batter will be thin, similar to pancake batter.
  5. Stir in the finely chopped onion for extra flavor depth.
  6. Carefully pour the batter mixture evenly over the ham and cheese layers.
Baking
  1. Bake for 35–40 minutes until the top is golden brown and the center is set. The pie should no longer jiggle when gently shaken.
  2. Allow the Impossible Ham And Swiss Pie to rest for about 10 minutes before cutting. This helps the layers set properly.
Serving
  1. Slice and enjoy this cheesy ham side dish while warm for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

Serve warm, sliced into wedges. Pairs wonderfully with a simple garden salad or steamed vegetables. Optional: Add a dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of fresh herbs for added flavor.
