Ingredients
-
½ pound bacon
-
2 cups sliced leeks
-
1 (9 inch) unbaked pie crust
-
1 ½ cups half-and-half
-
5 large eggs
-
2 cups grated Cheddar cheese
-
½ cup mozzarella cheese
-
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
-
1 medium tomato, thinly sliced
-
salt and ground black pepper to taste
Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
-
Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until brown and crispy, about 10 minutes. Remove bacon to a paper towel-lined plate and crumble when cool enough to handle.
-
Saute leeks in the bacon fat over medium heat until soft, 4 to 5 minutes.
-
Place pie crust in a glass, deep-dish pie pan. Spread leeks over the bottom of the crust, then sprinkle bacon crumbs over top.
-
Whisk half-and-half and eggs together in a medium bowl. Toss Cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, and flour together in a small bowl. Mix cheese mixture into the egg mixture, then pour into the pie crust. Top with tomato slices and season with salt and pepper.
-
Bake in the preheated oven until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, about 1 hour. Let stand for 5 minutes before cutting.
Cook's Note:
You can saute the leeks in 2 tablespoons butter instead of the bacon fat if desired. Heavy cream can be used instead of half-and-half.
