wisconsin breakfast cheese pie

In 1980 while living in Western NY I took 5 teenagers to Green Lake, WI for Camp. We had this Cheese Pie in the dining hall twice while we were there. When I returned a couple of years later with a group on a mission trip I scoured local shops for a cookbook with the recipe. It has become a favorite of our brunch dishes.

How To Make wisconsin breakfast cheese pie
-
1In a large mixing bowl, combine all the filling ingredients and blend well. Set aside.
-
2Preheat oven to 300-degrees. In a large bowl combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt; mix well. Add the melted butter, eggs, milk and vanilla and mix lightly but thoroughly by hand.
-
3Spoon half of the batter into 2 greased 9-inch pie pans. Top with filling, spreading out with a spoon, but don't mix in.
-
4Drop remaining batter on top of the filling by small spoonfuls, spreading out gently to cover filling as thoroughly as possible. (It will all come together during baking.)
-
5Bake for 1 1/2 hours. Cut into wedges and serve with fresh fruit sauce and bacon.
-
6I have served this with stewed rhubarb, applesauce and a strawberry/raspberry sauce. It depends on the season and what I have on hand.
