Maple Bacon Breakfast Pie

Submitted by Bonnie G #2

"Found on site called Tablespoon, here's what it says. Take all your favorite breakfast ingredients -– bacon, eggs, hash browns, cheese, milk – and combine them into a glorious breakfast pie. Then add a bacon lattice on top and the creation is complete. HINT: I've added spinach and thinking you can pretty much add what ever your family prefers, I always sit it on a jelly roll pan to prevent drips from messing up my oven"
