ingredients
- 2 unbaked 9-inch pie shells (frozen works well)
- 10 slice bacon, fried crisp (diced) or 236.59 ml cooked ham (diced)
- 236.59 236.59 ml swiss cheese or 236.59 ml cheddar cheese
- 44.37 ml flour
- 1.23 ml salt (bacon is usually salty enough for me) (optional)
- 9.85 ml black peppercorns (crushed)
- 473.18 473.18 ml evaporated milk, for a creamier texturre or 473.18 ml cream, for a creamier texture
- 6 eggs (slightly beaten)
- 1 onion (finely chopped)
- 8 pimento pepper (Trinidad Capsicum chinense.Use a mix of red and green for visual appeal)
directions
- Crumble 5 slices fried bacon in unbaked pie shell and cover with 1/2 cup cheese. The rest of the bacon and cheese goes into the other shell. I tend to use back bacon as there is less visible fat than the streaky kind.
- Combine flour, salt and crushed peppercorns, add evaporated milk and eggs. Really any kind of milk works well depends on how rich you want it. I use skimmed milk.
- Blend well and add chopped onion and chopped peppers . Pour into pie shells.
- Bake in a pre heated oven at 375 degrees F for 20 - 25 minutes or until inserted knife comes out clean.
- Slice and serve with a salad or use mini pastry shells for hors d'oeuvres.
