Savory Blender Pie (Salty Cake) Recipe
Ingredients:
For the Crust:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cold butter, cut into small cubes
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup ice water
For the Filling:
- 3 eggs

- Add the salt and pulse a few more times to mix.
- With the blender running on low, gradually add the ice water until the dough comes together. You may not need all of the water, so add it slowly.

- Roll Out the Crust:
- Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface to fit your pie or tart pan.
- Prepare the Filling:
- In the same blender (no need to wash it), combine the eggs, milk, grated cheese, diced ham or bacon (if using), diced vegetables, salt, pepper, and dried herbs.
- Blend until everything is well combined.
- Assemble the Pie:
- Place the rolled-out crust into your pie or tart pan.
- Pour the blended filling mixture into the crust.
- Bake:
- Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for about 30-35 minutes or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown.
- Serve:
- Allow the pie to cool slightly before slicing and serving. It can be served warm or at room temperature.
