Ingredients

• 1 whole Pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
• 8 slices Thick-cut bacon
• 250 grams Cremini mushrooms
• 1 medium Yellow onion
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme
• 240 milliliters Heavy cream
• 3 whole Eggs
• 100 grams Gruyere cheese (shredded)
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Roll out the pie crust and carefully press it into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim any excess and refrigerate while you prepare the filling.

Step 3

In a large skillet, fry the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet, crumble into small pieces, and set aside. Reserve about 1 tablespoon of the bacon fat in the skillet.

Step 4

Add the olive oil to the skillet along with the reserved bacon fat. Heat over medium heat and sauté the finely diced onion until it becomes translucent, about 3 minutes.

Step 5

Add sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook until they release their moisture and become golden brown, about 7-8 minutes.

Step 6

Stir in minced garlic and fresh thyme, cooking for an additional 1 minute. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.

Step 7

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, eggs, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 8

Spread the mushroom and onion mixture evenly over the chilled pie crust. Sprinkle the crumbled bacon on top, followed by the shredded Gruyere cheese.

Step 9

Pour the cream and egg mixture over the filling, ensuring it is evenly distributed.

Step 10

Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown.

Step 11

Let the pie cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm.
