Calories: 493kcal
Ingredients
- 1 lb. bacon cooked until crisp and crumbled
- 1/2 medium onion finely chopped
- 6 eggs
- 20 oz. frozen broccoli thawed and chopped
- 3/4 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 lb. monterey jack cheese
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon chili pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
- Butter a 9 inch pie plate.
- If using a crust, press the crust into your pie plate. You can make this with or without a crust - we like it equally well either way. If you'd like to make it with a crust, use your favorite crust. I would recommend trying this parmesan rosemary crust.
- Cook your bacon until crisp and crumble. Reserve 2 Tablespoons of your bacon grease.
- Saute your onions in bacon grease.
- Lightly whisk your eggs in a large bowl while adding the cream.
- Add all ingredients to your egg mixture and mix well.
- Pour into your prepared pie plate.
- Bake approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes. A knife inserted, should come out clean when done.
