Directions
Now, let’s dive into the cooking process:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Roll out the pie crust and carefully place it into a greased 9-inch pie dish, trimming any excess dough from the edges.
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove from the skillet and drain on paper towels.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Crumble the cooked bacon and sprinkle it evenly over the bottom of the pie crust. Top with shredded cheddar cheese.
- Pour the egg mixture over the bacon and cheese, ensuring it is evenly distributed.
- Create a lattice pattern on top of the pie by arranging the remaining bacon slices in a crisscross pattern.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the crust is golden brown.
- Garnish with chopped fresh chives, if desired, and serve hot.
