Ingredients

Crust

Filling

  • 6 large eggs
  • cup whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 6 pieces cooked bacon chopped (~6 oz. raw)
  • 4 oz. shredded gruyere cheese ~1 cup
  • ¼ white onion minced

Instructions

Crust

  • Add the flour, salt, and sugar to a large bowl. Mix together. Add the cubed butter to the flour. Using a dough cutter or fork, mix (or cut) the butter into the flour. Add 1 tablespoon of water at a time to start to form the dough. Once a ball is formed, flatten the dough into a disc and wrap it in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

  • Preheat the oven to 400℉. Spray a 9-inch pie pan with cooking spray and set aside.
  • Roll the pie dough out into a 12-inch circle. Transfer the dough to the pie pan and push it in to fit. Using a fork, pierce the crust several times.
