Ingredients

8 servings
  • ½ 15 -ounce package (1 crust) refrigerated pie crust ((or make your own))
  • 8 slices bacon, (cut into ½-inch pieces)
  • 4 whole green onions, (chopped)
  • 1 cup (4-ounces) shredded Swiss cheese, (divided)
  • 1 cup (4-ounces) sharp cheddar cheese, (divided)
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 cup whipping cream
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground red pepper
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground white pepper
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg

Steps

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F.

  2. Let the pie crust come to room temperature (about 15 minutes) and roll out slightly to make the round a little bit larger. Fit into a 9-inch pie plate, fold the edges under and crimp. Poke several holes in the bottom and sides of the crust with a fork. Bake for 7 minutes; remove from oven. Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F.

  3. Cook the bacon pieces in a large skillet until crisp. Drain on paper towels. Sprinkle the green onions, bacon, ½ cup of Swiss cheese, and ½ cup of cheddar cheese into the baked crust.

  4. Whisk together the eggs, whipping cream, salt, peppers and nutmeg. Gently, pour into the crust; sprinkle with the remaining Swiss and cheddar cheeses.

  5. Bake 35 to 40 minutes or until set. Let stand for about 10 minutes before slicing.
