- Once combined, add the mixture over the crust and evenly distribute throughout the skillet and cover.
- Set temperature to 250°F/120°C and cook for 2 hours.
- Turn off the skillet and place it in the refrigerator to chill for 1-2 hours to set before serving. This will vary depending on your refrigerator cooling settings.
