shygirl's Note:

I made this for my daughter who loves to eat cheese, bacon and everything bad for one's health. But I tell you, it was scrumptious! Saw this episode in Martha Stewart sometime not long ago.

I have this recipe on file, tried it 3 months ago. It's very good but so filling! You have to cut the pie into 16 wedges instead of 8 because its too too rich. I served it to my friend when she passed by the house and she raved about it! thanks!
