Ingredients:

  • 1 (9-inch) pre-made pie crust
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour, for dusting
  • 6 ounces bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 1 cup shredded Gruyère cheese
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup whole milk
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
  • Pinch of salt, to taste
  • Pinch of black pepper, to taste

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C/Gas Mark 5). Lightly dust the pre-made pie crust with flour and gently press it into the pie dish.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, heavy cream, and milk until well combined. Stir in nutmeg, salt, and pepper.
  3. Spread crumbled bacon evenly over the bottom of the pie crust. Top with shredded Gruyère cheese.
  4. Gently pour the egg mixture over the bacon and cheese, ensuring even distribution.
  5. Place the pie dish on a baking sheet and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set and lightly golden brown. The center should be just set – a slight wobble is fine, as it will continue to set as it cools.
  6. Remove from oven and let cool for at least 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.
