Bacon Onion Tomato Pie

Ingredients:

• 1 pre-made pie crust (or homemade if you prefer)

• 6 slices of bacon, chopped

• 1 large onion, thinly sliced

• 2 large tomatoes, sliced

• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese)

• 3 large eggs

• 1 cup heavy cream (or half-and-half)

• 1 tsp dried thyme (optional)

• Salt and pepper to taste

• 1 tbsp olive oil or butter (for sautéing)

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Prepare the crust:
   Place the pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish. Prick the bottom a few times with a fork to prevent bubbling.

3. Cook the bacon:
   In a skillet over medium heat, cook the chopped bacon until crispy. Remove bacon and set aside, leaving some bacon fat in the pan.

4. Sauté the onions:
   Add olive oil or butter if needed, then sauté the sliced onions in the bacon fat until soft and caramelized (about 8-10 minutes).

5. Layer the pie:

   • Spread cooked bacon evenly over the pie crust.

   • Add the sautéed onions on top of the bacon.

   • Arrange tomato slices on top of the onions.

   • Sprinkle shredded cheese evenly over the tomatoes.

6. Make the custard:
   In a bowl, whisk together eggs, heavy cream, thyme, salt, and pepper.

7. Pour custard over the pie:
   Carefully pour the egg mixture over the layered ingredients in the pie crust.

8. Bake:
   Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the custard is set and the top is golden.

9. Cool and serve:
   Let the pie cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing.

Tips:

• You can add fresh basil or oregano for extra flavor.

• Use ripe tomatoes for the best taste and less watery filling.

• Serve with a green salad or crusty bread.
