Scale
- 1 pre-made pie crust
- 6 slices bacon, chopped
- 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
- 3 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Press the pie crust into a 9-inch pie plate.
- Cook the bacon in a skillet until crisp. Drain on paper towels.
- Sprinkle the cooked bacon and shredded cheese evenly over the bottom of the pie crust.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, and pepper.
