Makes 6 to 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 (14.1-ounce) package refrigerated pie crusts
- 6 slices bacon
- 1½ cups small broccoli florets
- 6 large eggs
- ¾ cup milk
- ⅔ cup heavy whipping cream
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- ¾ cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese, divided
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375º. Unroll pie crusts, and stack together on a clean work surface. Roll crusts into a 14-inch circle. Fit pie dough into a 9½ -inch glass pie plate. Fold over edges and crimp. Using a fork, prick bottom and sides of crust. Line with parchment paper, and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake for 20 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove weights and paper.
- In a medium skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp. Remove bacon to paper towels to drain. Crumble bacon.
- In a large saucepan, cook broccoli florets in boiling salted water to cover for 3 to 4 minutes or until crisp-tender; drain. Plunge into ice water to stop the cooking process; drain well and pat dry with paper towels.
- In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, cream, salt, and pepper until smooth and light in color.
- Sprinkle bacon, broccoli, and ½ cup cheese in baked crust. Pour egg mixture over bacon mixture.
- Bake for 20 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining ¼ cup cheese, and bake 10 minutes longer or until center is set.
