I’m not the biggest breakfast person. That is unless you’re serving me waffles & ice cream. Or in this case, a bacon, egg, & cheese pie. (side note: yes, I realize both of those pretty much count as dessert…oh well, I tried!)
This BEC breakfast pie is perfect for Sunday brunch or to throw together last minute for friends & family. The base of this dish is a bacon woven pie crust topped with scrambled eggs & of course, tons of cheese! Obviously, if you’re reading this blog you probably aren’t looking for a healthier alternative but if on the off chance you are, swap out the bacon for turkey bacon, fill the pie with egg whites, & top with homemade pesto instead of cheese! (is it weird that I’m a little tempted to make the healthy version…)
