Bacon Lattice Breakfast Pie

Prepare to elevate your breakfast experience with our exquisite creation: the Bacon Lattice Breakfast Pie. This culinary masterpiece seamlessly blends the smoky allure of perfectly woven bacon with a medley of breakfast favorites, delivering a symphony of flavors in each sumptuous bite.

Begin this gastronomic journey by gathering premium ingredients. Opt for 8-10 slices of bacon, cooked to a delightful balance of crispiness and flexibility, creating the perfect lattice. Enveloping the savory ensemble is a carefully crafted pie crust, either store-bought or homemade, providing a delectable foundation for the layers of goodness within.

Within the golden crust lies a harmonious marriage of textures and tastes. A luscious blend of shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled breakfast sausage, and diced ham creates a symphony of flavors that dance across the palate. This rich and hearty filling sets the stage for the pièce de résistance: the luxurious egg mixture.

Eggscellence Unleashed: In a bowl, whisk together six large eggs and a half-cup of milk, seasoned to perfection with a dash of salt and pepper. This velvety amalgamation cascades over the cheese and meats, infusing the dish with a creamy decadence that promises an unparalleled breakfast experience.

The Artistry of the Bacon Lattice: The culinary enchantment continues as the partially cooked bacon takes center stage. With precision and artistry, create an intricate lattice pattern atop the egg mixture, ensuring a stunning visual presentation. As the pie bakes to perfection, the bacon crisps to a golden finish, tantalizing the senses with its smoky aroma.

Culinary Alchemy in the Oven: Place your creation in a preheated oven set to 375°F (190°C) and let the magic unfold. In just 30-35 minutes, witness the transformation of simple ingredients into a golden-brown masterpiece. The eggs set to a velvety consistency, while the bacon lattice achieves the perfect balance of crispness, elevating the dish to gourmet heights.

Serving Elegance: Allow your Bacon Lattice Breakfast Pie to cool briefly, enhancing the flavors and making for easy slicing. Serve each carefully cut slice with a flourish, inviting your guests to savor the symphony of flavors. Elevate the experience further by offering optional toppings such as chopped green onions, diced tomatoes, salsa, or a dash of hot sauce.

Bacon Lattice Breakfast Pie

Ingredients:

• 8-10 slices of bacon
• 1 pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup cooked breakfast sausage, crumbled
• 1 cup diced cooked ham
• 6 large eggs
• 1/2 cup milk
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Optional toppings: chopped green onions, diced tomatoes, salsa, hot sauce

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Cook the bacon until it’s partially cooked but still flexible. You don’t want it to be too crispy as it needs to be pliable enough to form a lattice. Drain the bacon on paper towels.
3. Roll out the pie crust and place it in a pie dish.
4. In a bowl, mix together the shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled breakfast sausage, and diced ham. Spread this mixture evenly over the pie crust.
5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

6. Pour the egg mixture over the cheese and meat in the pie crust.
7. Now, create a lattice pattern with the partially cooked bacon slices on top of the egg mixture. Lay half of the bacon slices in one direction, then fold back every other strip before laying down the remaining bacon slices perpendicular to the first set.
8. Trim any excess bacon hanging over the edges of the pie crust.
9. Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for about 30-35 minutes or until the eggs are set and the bacon is crispy.
10. Allow the pie to cool for a few minutes before slicing.
11. Serve slices of the Bacon Lattice Breakfast Pie with your favorite toppings such as chopped green onions, diced tomatoes, salsa, or hot sauce.
