- 1/2 cup green onions, sliced

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a pie dish with the chilled crust and trim excess dough.

- In a large bowl, whisk together eggs and heavy cream; season with salt and pepper.
- Stir in the sautéed vegetables and shredded cheese until well combined.
