Recipe View Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes. Then, reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and continue baking for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the filling is puffed and golden brown, and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean. (65 minutes)

Recipe View Remove from oven and let cool for 10 minutes before serving. Prick the top with a knife if it puffs up excessively during baking. This will help it settle evenly. (10 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of fresh herbs like chives or parsley before baking.
If you don't have Ranch dressing, you can substitute with a mixture of mayonnaise, sour cream, buttermilk, and a blend of herbs and spices.
To prevent the crust from browning too quickly, you can cover the edges with foil during the last 20 minutes of baking.
