This is a tried-and-true recipe. A few weeks ago I had planned to make this and couldn't find the recipe (it ended up being stuck in amongst the desserts) so I found one I thought sounded similar online and it didn't turn out at all the same! This one ends up with a nicely browned crust every time.
9" Pie Shell, unbaked (frozen Pillsbury crusts work pefectly)
1/2 lb. Bacon, cooked and crumbled or finely snipped (I love to use the precooked bacon for speed and convenience)
1 1/2 cups Swiss Cheese, grated (cheddar works too)
3 Eggs
1 1/2 cup Light Cream
3/4 tsp. Salt
dash Nutmeg
dash Cayenne Pepper
dash Black Pepper
Preheat oven to 375.
Sprinkle bacon over bottom of pie shell. Cover evenly with cheese.
In medium bowl, beat remaining ingredients until mixture is well-combines, but not frothy. Place pie shell on middle shelf in over. Pour egg mixture in over cheese and bacon.
Bake 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden and center is firm when gently touched. Let cool on rack for 10 minutes before serving.
