Instructions

1. Prep it up!

Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). While it’s warming up, roll out the pie crust and gently place it in a pie dish.

2. Turkey bacon time!

In a skillet, fry the Turkey Turkey bacon until it’s just beginning to crisp. You don’t want it too crunchy for your Bacon and egg pie.

3. Add the Onions:

Once the Turkey bacon is done, remove it from the skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, toss in the finely chopped onions. Sauté them until they’re translucent.

4. Let’s get cracking!

Whisk the eggs in a bowl, then add the milk, salt, pepper, and half of the grated cheese. Mix well.

5. Pie Assembly:

Place the Turkey bacon strips and sautéed onions at the bottom of the pie crust. Pour the egg mixture over them, ensuring an even distribution.

6. Cheese it up!

Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top of the Turkey bacon and egg pie. It’ll give it that golden, cheesy crust.

7. Bake Away:

Slide your pie into the preheated oven. Let it bake for about 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the eggs have set.

8. Cool & Slice:

Once out of the oven, let the Turkey bacon and egg pie cool for about 10 minutes. This makes slicing a lot easier.

Tips

1. Cheese Choice:

Feel free to use any cheese of your liking. A mix of cheddar and mozzarella works great.

2. Herbs:

Fresh herbs, like chives or parsley, can elevate the flavor profile of your Turkey bacon and egg pie.

3. Spice it up:

If you enjoy a kick, consider adding a pinch of chili flakes to the egg mixture.
