Easy Scrambled Egg Pie

This is an easy meal for breakfast, brunch or even supper. We usually have this Christmas morning. It's a great time saver as you can prepare it up to 24 hours ahead. Quite often I've used cheddar in place of the processed cheese slices. I've also added ham, onions, and the like for a change of pace. My family however, prefers it as written below. UPDATE: When it is just DH and I, I make individual pies, as shown in the photos. The tart tins are 5-1/2" in dia.
