Cheese, Egg and Bacon Pie

Kohtzy's Note:

This is one of our favorite breakfast/brunch recipes. The only tip we have is to make sure the eggs are pretty much set when mixing in the skillet and before putting the pie into the oven. Otherwise they will come out a bit runny. We've made this recipe in both round pie-plates and square(9x9) baking dishes. Both work well, so use what you have available. Enjoy!
