Great for brunch. I first tried this dish when my three children were teenagers. It instantly became a family favorite. The children, who are all grown, request this dish when they come to visit. It’s even good when reheated in the microwave.
8 slices bacon
1 large thinly sliced Vidalia onion
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 eggs, beaten
1 cup milk
Salt and pepper
¼ cup grated Swiss cheese
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 (9-inch) unbaked pie shell
Preheat the oven to 350°. Fry the bacon and sauté the onion in the bacon drippings. In a mixing bowl crumble the bacon and mix with the sautéed onion. Sprinkle the flour over the mixture. In a small mixing bowl beat the eggs and add the milk. Season with the salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle the cheeses over the bottom of the pie shell. Spread the bacon mixture evenly over the cheeses. Cover with the milk mixture. Bake for 1 hour.
