Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece Ready-made pie crust
- 6 large Eggs
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 8 slices Bacon
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chives, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place the ready-made pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish, gently pressing it into the sides. Trim any excess crust hanging over the edges.
Prick the bottom of the crust with a fork to prevent air bubbles. Line the crust with parchment paper and fill it with pie weights or dried beans. Blind bake the crust for 10 minutes, then remove the weights and bake for another 5 minutes. Set the crust aside to cool.
While the crust is baking, cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Drain on paper towels and chop into bite-sized pieces.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, and black pepper until fully combined.
Sprinkle half of the shredded cheddar cheese evenly onto the cooled pie crust. Add the chopped bacon on top of the cheese layer.
Pour the egg and cream mixture over the bacon, ensuring it is evenly distributed. Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese over the top.
Place the pie dish on the center rack of your preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for at least 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped chives, if desired.
Slice and serve warm. Enjoy your Egg Bacon Pie!
