- 2 tbsp olive oil

In a small bowl, beat the eggs and season with salt and pepper. Pour the beaten eggs over the cheese and shallots.

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set.

Allow the pie to cool for a few minutes before serving. Cut into slices and enjoy!
