Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 sheet premade pie crust
- 5 large eggs
- 1.5 cups whole milk
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup diced onion
- 1 cup chopped spinach
- 0.5 cup cooked and crumbled bacon
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.125 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place the premade pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish, pressing it gently into the bottom and up the sides. Trim any excess crust from the edges if needed.
Poke a few holes in the bottom of the crust with a fork to prevent bubbling. Pre-bake the crust for 8-10 minutes, then set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until fully combined and smooth.
Add the shredded cheddar cheese, diced onion, chopped spinach, crumbled bacon, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg to the egg mixture. Stir gently to evenly distribute the ingredients.
Pour the mixture into the pre-baked pie crust, spreading it out evenly.
Carefully place the pie dish into the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes or until the egg filling is set and the top is lightly golden. To check if it's done, insert a knife or toothpick into the center; it should come out clean.
Remove the egg pie from the oven and allow it to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm and enjoy your Ortell Smith's Egg Pie!
