Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 Tablespoons butter
  • 1-2 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 8 oz Sliced Mushrooms
  • 1 1/2 Cup Broccoli Florets cut into bit size pieces
  • 8 slices crisp cooked Bacon chopped
  • 1 1/2 cups Monterey Jack Cheese grated
  • 1 1/2 cups Swiss Cheese grated
  • 6 eggs
  • 2 cups Half & Half
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • salt
  • black pepper
  • 2 Deep Dish Frozen Pie Crusts

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F. Using a fork, poke holes in both pie crusts so heat can vent to prevent crust from bubbling up. Bake both pie crusts for about 8 minutes, then remove them and let cool on wire rack. While crusts are cooking, fry bacon until crisp and chop into about 1/2 inch pieces.
  • Melt butter in large skillet and add mushrooms, raise temperature to med high heat to brown mushrooms. Because of the juice emitted from mushrooms during cooking, mushrooms have a tendency to just boil and become rubbery and tough. Temperature has to be high to brown them, also you can add 1 to 2 tablespoons of olive oil to help bring the butter up to higher temperature without burning.
  • Add the broccoli florets and sauté or stir fry until the broccoli is tender and the mushrooms are golden.
  • Divide your vegetable mixture between the two pie crusts, laying the veggies on the bottom of each pie shell, then add the bacon pieces to each pie.
  • Equally divide both of the cheeses and spread on top of each of the bacon broccoli mushroom mixture.
  • Beat eggs in a medium bowl, add half & half, basil, oregano and salt and pepper to taste. Whip well to incorporate all the ingredients together.
  • Pour the egg mixture into each pie, equally. This is easier if the pies are placed on a cooking sheet prior to pouring and then just slide the rack with the pies into the oven. Make a “tent” with enough aluminum foil to cover both pies to prevent the crust from over browning. Bake for 15 minutes at 425 degrees F then turn the oven down to 325 degrees F and bake for another 15-20 minutes until the pies are just set in the center. Remove foil and cook 1-2 minutes until golden brown and knife inserted in center comes out clean.
  • Remove from oven and let cool on wire rack prior to serving.
