Ingredients

• 1 sheet premade pie crust
• 5 large eggs
• 1.5 cups whole milk
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.5 cup diced onion
• 1 cup chopped spinach
• 0.5 cup cooked and crumbled bacon
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.125 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Place the premade pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish, pressing it gently into the bottom and up the sides. Trim any excess crust from the edges if needed.

Step 3

Poke a few holes in the bottom of the crust with a fork to prevent bubbling. Pre-bake the crust for 8-10 minutes, then set aside to cool slightly.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until fully combined and smooth.

Step 5

Add the shredded cheddar cheese, diced onion, chopped spinach, crumbled bacon, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg to the egg mixture. Stir gently to evenly distribute the ingredients.

Step 6

Pour the mixture into the pre-baked pie crust, spreading it out evenly.

Step 7

Carefully place the pie dish into the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes or until the egg filling is set and the top is lightly golden. To check if it's done, insert a knife or toothpick into the center; it should come out clean.

Step 8

Remove the egg pie from the oven and allow it to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing.

Step 9

Serve warm and enjoy your Ortell Smith's Egg Pie!
