Impossibly Easy Use-It-Up Pie (Oamc)

Lorraine of AZ's Note:

I love the impossibly easy pies. They are so easy to put together and bake up to be delicious. I think they make a fine summer meal, even if you do have to use the oven to make it. This is a basic recipe that you can vary any way you wish, depending on what is in the refrigerator. I used sauteed onions, cooked asparagus and Cheddar cheese (being inspired by Chef Silky's Asparagus Cheddar Quiche.) Cooked meat may be added along with the vegetables, if desired. I'm not positive but I think the recipe comes from "Frozen Assets."

Good stuff... it's the day before payday, and I always set aside a few eggs to make a frittata with leftover veggies, but this was a nice change. I used spinach and red capsicum, and it worked really well with the nutmeg. Thanks!
