Sunday Brunch: Bacon And Egg Pie Recipe
- Unsalted butter, for pie plate
- 8 ounces thickly sliced bacon
- 4 ounces small mushrooms, wiped clean, quarted
- 1 red, yellow, or orange bell pepper, seeds and ribs removed, diced
- 3 ounces soft goat cheese
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
- 5 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Preheat the oven to 325u0b0F. Generously butter a 10-inch glass pie plate. Cook the bacon in a large skillet until very crisp. Remove; drain on paper towels. Pour off all but 2 tablespoons of the bacon fat from the skillet.
- Return the skillet to medium-high heat; add the mushrooms. Cook until well browned, about 4 minutes. Remove from the skillet; spread the mushrooms in a prepared pie plate. Crumble the bacon; arrange over the mushrooms, along with the pepper, cheeses, and thyme.
- Beat the eggs and cream in a large bowl, and season with salt and pepper. Pour the egg mixture over the bacon-vegetable mixture. Bake until the egg pie is set and deep golden brown, about 1 hour. Remove from the oven, and place on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Slice into wedges, and serve warm or at room temperature.
