A brunch with friends was
planned for the end of Week 25 and I figured a breakfast pie would be a hearty
dish that all of us could enjoy. The trick for this dish was finding a
breakfast pie that did not involve potatoes. My husband is not a fan of
potatoes, and believe it or not, most breakfast pies throw potatoes in the mix.
Earlier in the month I had seen a recipe for a pie with egg, cheese, bacon and potato, so I decided I would do a little modification of my own and make a pie using all but the potato. In order to make this happen I used portions of the recipe I had found, as well as a recipe I had used in December for Three Cheese and Onion Pie.
I used a parbaked All Butter Crust for this pie.
The filling consisted of small pieces of bacon, a cup of cheese (Mexican cheese is what I had on hand, though any number of cheeses could be substituted here), small amounts of cayenne, salt, and pepper, half & half, and eggs. The most time consuming part was frying up the bacon before mixing all the other ingredients together.
This pie was tasty, but not a show-stopper. Would I make this Egg,Bacon and Cheese Pie again? Yep, but not for a crowd you need to impress. Thankfully, my brunch was among friends and no one went away unhappy, including me.
