6-8 slices of bacon
½ c chopped onion
4 oz mushrooms, sliced
8 eggs, beaten
½ c sour cream
½ c milk
¼ tsp salt
⅛ tsp pepper
1 c shredded extra sharp cheddar cheese
Preparation
- Line a 9-inch pie plate with the pastry. Trim; crimp edge. Line the pastry shell with a double thickness of foil. Bake in a 450° oven for 8 minutes. Remove foil. Bake for 4-5 minutes more or until pastry is set and dry. Remove from oven. Reduce oven temperature to 325°.
- Meanwhile, in a large skillet, cook the bacon. Remove bacon from pan. Cook onions and mushrooms in bacon grease until tender; season with salt and pepper. Crumble bacon.
- In a bowl, stir together eggs, sour cream, milk, salt and pepper. Stir in bacon, onions, and mushrooms. Stir in cheese.
- Pour egg mixture into the hot baked pastry shell. Bake at 325° for 45-50 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. If necessary, cover edge of crust with foil to prevent overbrowning. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
