Ingredients

The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • 1 pre-made frozen pie crust
  • 4 medium eggs, beaten
  • 1 1/4 cup half and half
  • 8 slices (~8 ounces) bacon, cooked & sliced
  • 1/4 cup shallots or onions, finely diced
  • 4 ounces (1 cup) Swiss cheese, grated
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 375F.
  • Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil (makes pans easier to clean).
  • Lay bacon on the sheet, careful to not overcrowd. Cook bacon directly on the sheet and not on a rack (it cooks faster and stays moister this way).
  • Cook ~13-20 minutes (no need to turn) depending on thickness or until desired doneness.  
  • Lay bacon on rack or on paper towel lined plate.  Cool and slice.
  • In a bowl whisk together: eggs, salt, pepper, and nutmeg.  Mix in half and half slowly.
  • Layer the shallots, bacon, and cheese in the frozen pie crust. 
  • Pour egg mixture over the top (you may have a little extra if your eggs were large).
  • Bake for 45-50 minutes or until a knife in the center comes out clean and the top is turning a slight brown. Cover your pie crust with a pie shield or aluminum foil if it's browning too fast.  Same for the middle - cover with aluminum foil if it's browning on the top but not cooked in the middle.
  • Let sit ~ 15 minutes before slicing.  Happy Eating!  Beckie
