Homemade Recipe for Apple Bacon Cheddar Breakfast Pie:
Ingredients:
For the Pie Crust:
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
4-5 tablespoons ice water
For the Filling:
6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
2 apples, peeled, cored, and sliced (use your favorite variety)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
4 large eggs
1 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional, for extra flavor)
Instructions:
Prepare the Pie Crust:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture.
Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, and mix until the dough comes together. You might not need all the water.
Form the dough into a disc, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Roll Out the Crust:
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pie crust into a circle to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Place the crust in the pie dish and trim any excess hanging over the edges. Crimp the edges with a fork or your fingers.
Assemble the Filling:
Sprinkle half of the shredded cheddar cheese over the bottom of the pie crust.
Layer the sliced apples over the cheese.
Sprinkle the cooked and crumbled bacon over the apples.
Top with the remaining cheddar cheese.
Prepare the Egg Mixture:
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and nutmeg if using.
Pour the Egg Mixture:
Carefully pour the egg mixture over the filling in the pie crust.
Bake:
Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown.
Cool and Serve:
Allow the pie to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This breakfast pie can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature.
Enjoy your homemade Apple Bacon Cheddar Breakfast Pie! It's a delicious combination of sweet and savory flavors.
