Happy Easter Eve Fellow Baconians……I have a treat for you to try!
Yummy cheese, delicious bacon, a nice juicy bit of tomato……..sour cream and eggs – all sorts of goodness in a pie shell. It’s definitely not a fancy meal but it definitely is a meal and totally worth trying. Might make a good Easter offering – or if you’re like the ROYAL MOM – it’s a good “anytime” offering!
Bacon-Cheese Puff Pie
Ingredients
- 1 pastry shell, unbaked
- 1 pound sliced bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1 large tomato, peeled and sliced
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 3 large eggs, separated
- 3/4 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Paprika
Directions
- Line un-pricked pastry shell with a double thickness of heavy-duty foil. Bake at 450° for 5 minutes. Remove foil. Bake 5 minutes longer. Cool completely.
- Sprinkle bacon over the crust. Top with tomato and cheese. In a large bowl, beat the egg yolks, sour cream, flour and salt until smooth. In another large bowl, beat egg whites until stiff. Fold into sour cream mixture; spread over cheese. Sprinkle with paprika.
- Bake at 350° until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, about 45 minutes. Let stand 5-10 minutes before cutting.
