Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the 1 pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish and crimp edges.

  2. Step 2

    Cook the 6 slices bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 8 minutes. Drain on paper towels, then crumble.

  3. Step 3

    In a bowl, whisk together the 4 eggs, 1 cup heavy cream, 0.5 tsp salt, and 0.25 tsp black pepper until smooth.

  4. Step 4

    Sprinkle the crumbled bacon and 1 cup cheddar cheese evenly over the bottom of the crust.

  5. Step 5

    Pour the egg mixture over the bacon and cheese. Sprinkle 2 tbsp fresh parsley on top.

  6. Step 6

    Bake until the center is set and the top is golden, about 35-40 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes before slicing.

  7. Step 7

    Slice and serve warm or at room temperature.
