Ingredients

• 1 piece Pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
• 6 large Eggs
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup Cooked and crumbled bacon or sausage
• 0.5 cup Diced onion
• 0.5 cup Diced bell pepper (any color)
• 1 cup Chopped spinach (optional)
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil (for sautéing)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

If using a store-bought pie crust, line a 9-inch pie dish with the crust and crimp the edges. If making a homemade crust, roll out the dough and fit it into the dish. Set aside.

Step 3

In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and bell pepper, sautéing until softened (about 5 minutes). If using spinach, add it to the skillet in the last minute of cooking, just to wilt it slightly. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and cooked bacon or sausage.

Step 5

Add the sautéed vegetables to the egg mixture and stir to combine evenly.

Step 6

Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it out evenly.

Step 7

Place the pie on the middle rack of the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Serve warm, and enjoy your delicious Brunch Pie!
