  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder (optional)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish.

6. Bake the Pie:

  • Place the pie dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the egg mixture is set.

7. Rest and Serve:
