Ingredients

• 1 piece Pie crust (pre-made or homemade)
• 6 large Eggs
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
• 6 slices Bacon, cooked and crumbled
• 1 medium Russet potato, peeled and diced
• 0.5 cup Onion, finely chopped
• 0.5 cup Bell pepper, diced (any color)
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Chives, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Roll out the pie crust into a 9-inch pie pan and gently press it into the pan. Trim any excess dough and set aside.

Step 3

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced potato and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the edges are golden and slightly crispy.

Step 4

Add the chopped onion and bell pepper to the skillet with the potatoes. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, until the vegetables are softened. Remove from heat.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, and black pepper until fully combined.

Step 6

Spread the cooked vegetable mixture evenly across the bottom of the prepared pie crust.

Step 7

Sprinkle the cooked bacon and shredded cheddar cheese over the vegetable layer.

Step 8

Pour the egg mixture evenly over the pie fillings, ensuring it seeps into all the nooks and crannies.

Step 9

Carefully transfer the pie to the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the center is set and a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean.

Step 10

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

Step 11

Garnish with chopped chives, if desired, and serve warm. Enjoy!
