Southern Ham-And-Cheese Pie
- 10 large eggs
- Pinch of cayenne pepper
- 3 ounces ham, chopped
- 6 ounces muenster cheese, grated
- 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 3 bunches scallions, cut into 2-inch pieces
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 large tomato, cut into wedges
- 1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 4 ounces mesclun greens (about 4 cups)
- 1/2 head escarole, torn, or 1 bunch dandelion greens, trimmed
- Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the broiler.
- Whisk the eggs, 2 tablespoons water and the cayenne in a large bowl.
- Fold in the ham and half of the cheese.
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in an ovenproof 6-to-8-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, swirling to coat the pan.
- Add the scallions, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and black pepper to taste; cook until soft, 4 to 5 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to medium low, pour in the egg mixture and stir gently with a rubber spatula to distribute the fillings.
- Cook until the bottom is just set, about 4 minutes.
- Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top, transfer to the oven and bake until puffed and golden, about 10 minutes.
- Let stand while you prepare the salad.
- Season the tomato with salt and black pepper and toss with the vinegar, sugar and the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil in a bowl.
- Add the greens and toss.
- Slice the pie and serve with the salad.
