One of those recipes, where the bottom forms its own crust.
It looks like a quiche, but it's magical how the batter forms its own bottom crust and filling as it bakes. As comforting as macaroni and cheese, this pie is a surefire kid-pleaser.

- 1 onion, chopped.
- 1 sweet red pepper, chopped.
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh dill , (or 1 tsp/5 mL dried).
