Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece Pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
- 6 large Eggs
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Cooked and crumbled bacon or sausage
- 0.5 cup Diced onion
- 0.5 cup Diced bell pepper (any color)
- 1 cup Chopped spinach (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil (for sautéing)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
If using a store-bought pie crust, line a 9-inch pie dish with the crust and crimp the edges. If making a homemade crust, roll out the dough and fit it into the dish. Set aside.
In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and bell pepper, sautéing until softened (about 5 minutes). If using spinach, add it to the skillet in the last minute of cooking, just to wilt it slightly. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and cooked bacon or sausage.
Add the sautéed vegetables to the egg mixture and stir to combine evenly.
Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it out evenly.
Place the pie on the middle rack of the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm, and enjoy your delicious Brunch Pie!
