Directions

MIX the shredded cheddar and egg in a bowl until well blended.
HEAT a 9” or 10” nonstick pan over medium heat.
PLACE the cheddar and egg mixture in the pan and, using a rubber spatula, gently form the mixture over the bottom of the pan to make a “crust”.
COOK for a few minutes until the edges start to turn a light brown. Use the spatula to lift the edges to prevent sticking and to check the color on the bottom of the crust. When the bottom is nice and golden-brown flip the crust over to the top side.
TURN off the heat and let rest in the pan for a minute or two. Transfer the crust to a plate and, in the process, flip back over so the less browned side is on top.
ADD chopped veggie toppings and herbs to taste. Cut into quarters and serve.
