Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, heavy cream, and shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese, plus veggies, salt, and pepper if using.
Place the pie crust in the bottom of a 10-inch cast iron skillet. Crimp the edges of the dough.
Pour egg mixture into the unbaked pie dough.
Layer the pepperoni on top then sprinkle with the bacon pieces.
Bake for 40-45 minutes or until the eggs are set. Optional – Garnish with fresh chopped parsley if desired.

Notes

Try using Gruyere cheese, Swiss Cheese, Monterey Jack, or Colby Jack cheese.
You can use homemade pie crust. Roll dough out with a rolling pin and place it in the skillet or pie dish.
Try adding fresh spinach or cherry tomatoes.
You can use deli ham or breakfast sausage instead of bacon or pepperoni.
