Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 prepared deep dish pie crust (blind baked)
  • 4 large egg whites
  • 1 whole large egg
  • 3 ounces cooked chicken breast (diced (great use for rotisserie chicken!))
  • 3 slices bacon (cooked crisply and crumbled)
  • 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese (plus 2 Tablespoons)
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream (half and half, or whole milk)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground thyme

Instruction

  • Heat oven to 375 degrees F. Blind bake a scratch or store bought pie crust for 10 minutes. (This helps to prevent a soggy crust). Remove from oven and allow to cool while you prepare the filling.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the egg whites, whole egg, salt, pepper, thyme, and heavy cream until well combined.
  • Layer cooked chicken, bacon, and 1/4 cup cheese in the bottom of pie crust. Pour filling over the top of ingredients. Sprinkle remaining 2 tablespoons cheese over top of filling.
  • Bake at 375 for 35-45 minutes, or until filling is completely set. Remove from oven and serve warm, garnishing with extra cooked bacon pieces, if desired.
