Equipment

  • pie pan 9" or 10" pan

Ingredients

  • 1 pie crust
  • 1/2 bell pepper, chopped small green or yellow
  • 1/2 jalapeno, minced
  • 2 medium russet potatoes, peeled, sliced thin
  • 1 green onion, sliced thin
  • 1 cup med cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1/4 cup smoked mozzarella or any other cheese you like
  • 8 eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 10 strips of thin bacon
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • salt and pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425°
  • Put the pie crust into the pan and trim around the edges. Poke the crust with a fork all around the bottom and to the sides. Bake for 5 minutes and then set aside.
  • Next step is to arrange the potato slices around the pan. Slightly overlap them.
  • Now evenly sprinkle the bell pepper and jalapeno on top of the potatoes.
  • Sprinkle on half the cheese
  • Whisk the eggs and milk in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper then pour into the pie dish.
  • Next sprinkle the remaining cheese and then top with the green onions.
  • Moving on to the bacon. Start with 5 strips across the pie pan and then weave the remaining 5 to create a basket weave pattern.
  • Before we brush with syrup, cover the edges of the dish/bacon with aluminum foil.
    Then brush the bacon with maple syrup.
  • Bake for 40 minutes and then carefully remove the foil. Bake for an additional 5-10 more minutes until the bacon is golden and crispy.
  • Let it cool slightly then cut into slices. I love a good few shakes of hot sauce on mine.
  • ENJOY!
