Calories: 236kcal
Ingredients
- ½ batch Simply Perfect Homemade Pie Crust (store-bought may be substituted)
- 8 slices thick-cut bacon (about 9.5 ounces)
- 4 ounces Gruyere cheese, shredded
- 2 scallions, sliced thinly
- 4 eggs, large
- 1 ½ cups milk
- ¼ cup heavy cream
- ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll the pie dough out to about 2 inches larger than your pie dish.
- Transfer the dough to the pie dish, then trim, roll, and crimp the edge.
- Line the crust with parchment and fill with pie weights or dry beans, then bake for 30 minutes.
- Chop the bacon roughly and cook in a small skillet over medium heat, until crisp.
- Drain the bacon on paper towels; set aside.
- Place the eggs, milk, cream, salt, garlic powder, and pepper in a large bowl, and whisk to combine.
- Place the cooled bacon, grated cheese, and scallions in the partially baked crust, then pour the egg mixture over and all around.
- Bake for an additional 30 to 40 minutes, or until set around the edges but still just a little bit wobbly toward the center.
- Cool completely before slicing and serving.
