Breakfast Pie



Ingredients

One pie crust (make your own or buy one from the store)
5-6 large eggs *
1/4 cup half-n-half *
1/2 tsp Pepper
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp oregano flakes
3 tablespoons Onion, chopped
3-4 tablespoons Orange bell pepper, chopped
3-4 tablespoons yellow bell pepper, chopped
3-5 strips bacon
1/2 Mozzarella Cheese, grated
Salsa (optional)

Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Prepare crust for one pie bottom and mold into pie pan. Cook bacon and crumble into bite size pieces, drain and set aside. Sauté bell peppers and onion until union is just translucent (do not over cook or cook until mushy). Whip together the eggs, half-n-half, pepper, salt, and oregano until slightly frothy.

In the pie crust, spread bacon on bottom. Spread onion mixture over bacon. Pour in the egg mixture. Sprinkle the cheese so it is evenly spread on top of the eggs. Place a strip of foil around the edges of the pie pan to cover the pie crust. This will keep the edges of the pie crust from over browning.

Bake uncovered for 45 minutes (check after 35 minutes for doneness) or until knife inserted in middle comes out clean. Remove foil and cook for 7 minutes more. Let stand to set-up for 15 minutes. Cut and serve with salsa.

*Egg substitute can be used instead of the eggs. Follow the package directions to find the substitute amount for each egg.
