-CRUST-
1 1/3 c All-purpose flour
1/8 ts Salt
1/2 c Chilled butter; cut into
-small piece
2 tb Cold water; 2 to 3
-tablespoons
FILLING
10 Strips lean bacon
4 lg Eggs
1 1/2 c Light cream
1/4 ts Dried thyme
1/8 ts White pepper
1/2 c Shredded Gruyere cheese;
-about 2 ounces
1/2 c Shredded white Cheddar
-cheese; about 2 ounces
To prepare the crust, in a large bowl, mix together the flour and salt.
Using a pastry blender or 2 knives, cut in the butter until coarse crumbs
form.
Add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, tossing with a fork, until a dough
forms. Shape into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill in refrigerator
for 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. On a lightly floured surface, using a lightly
floured rolling pin, roll the dough into 11-inch circle. Fit into 9-inch
pie pan. Trim edge, leaving 1/4-inch overhang. Fold under to form standup
edge. Prick dough with a fork. Line with foil and fill with pie weights or
dried beans.
Bake for 10 minutes. Remove the foil and weights. Bake until lightly
golden, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
Meanwhile, prepare filling. In a medium skillet, cook the bacon over medium
heat until crisp, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel to drain.
In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, cream, thyme, and pepper. Pour
into crust. Crumble bacon. Sprinkle the egg mixture with the bacon, Gruyere
cheese, and Cheddar cheese. Bake until golden and custard is set, about 30
minutes. Serve warm.
NOTES : 30 minutes prep time, 30 minutes chilling, 45 minutes baking time.
