bacon breakfast pie

Ingredients

4 Eggs, pepper, 2 c milk, 2 c shredded cheese, 2 c cooked diced potatoes, bacon, and pie crust ( I have my own homemade version, please see below for the recipe.)

Directions

 Preheat the oven to 350ºF.

Pour the egg mixture into the pie pan (I use rectangular baking pan). Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the quiche is firm enough to lay the bacon on. Remove the pie and increase the temperature to 450ºF.

 Weave the bacon into a lattice on top of the pie. I didn't follow this part, just lazily lay the  bacon on it, the result is not very good, next time, I'll cut them into small pieces instead. Also  reduce the amount of the bacon, this recipe is already kind of heavy.

I didn't have the pie crust hanging over the rim, therefore, I don't even need to worry about the following. Cover the edges of the pie with aluminum foil to prevent burning. 

Return the pie to the oven and bake for 10-15 minutes or until the bacon is done. And you need to worry about this part too, tip pie dish carefully to drain any bacon grease, just use less bacon will do.

The most important and fun part is when to serve/eat the pie? While it's still warm, not hot, otherwise, it'll too soft to cut into nice pieces.

Butter Flaky Pie Crust

Ingredients

1 1/4 c wheat flour

1/4 c butter, diced

1/4 c water

Directions

In a large bowl, combine flour and water. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Then forms into a ball. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.

Place crust in pie plate. Press the dough evenly into the bottom and sides of the pie pan.

If pre-baking, use a fork and lightly prick the bottom and sides of the pie dough. Then preheat the oven to 425ºF and bake the pie crust for about 8 minutes. 
For this step, since, we need to bake this pie for sort of long time, so I didn't pre-bake it, it comes out good, as you can see, both look and taste.
