Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 deep dish frozen pie crust thawed (or homemade pie crust)
- 2 oz crisp bacon bits about 2/3 cup
- 2 oz cheddar cheese grated (about 3/4 cup)
- 2 oz gruyère cheese grated (about 3/4 cup)
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup milk I used 2%
- 5 large eggs
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°. Line the pie crust with aluminum foil and fill with dry beans or pie weights. Bake the crust on the lowest oven rack for about 15 minutes.
- Carefully remove the foil and dry beans.
- Layer the bacon bits and grated cheese in the bottom of the pie crust. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Whisk together the milk and eggs in a medium bowl. Pour the egg mixture over the cheese.
