From the Magnolia Table Volume 2. SO delicious.
Ingredients:
1 lb bacon
5 large eggs
1 c. heavy cream
3 large leeks (white and light-green parts only) thinly sliced and separated (so there aren't huge chunks of leek like in the photo - still good but I prefer the other way)
1/4 tsp. kosher salt
1/2 tsp. ground pepper
8 ounces Gruyere cheese, shredded (about 2 cups)
1 frozen pie shell
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350. Cook the bacon. (I like to cook it in the oven on 400 for about 30 minutes on a cooling rack on a cookie sheet. Place on paper towels to get the grease off and chop.) In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and cream until combined and smooth. Stir in the bacon, leeks, salt, pepper and cheese. Pour the mixture into the pie shell. Transfer to the oven and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 35 - 55 min (mine always takes a lot longer than 35 minutes! Wait til it's not soupy!). Remove from the oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool for 15 minutes to allow the eggs to set. Slice and serve warm or at room temp. Store in airtight container in the fridge.
Makes 8 servings.
