Maple Bacon Breakfast Pie

Ingredients:
- 1 refrigerated pie crust
- 1 cup shredded cheese (Gouda, cheddar, or similar)
- 1 (15-ounce) can diced potatoes, drained, or 1 package frozen hash browns, thawed and drained
- 4 large eggs
- Thick-cut bacon (some for mixing into the filling, plus extra for the lattice)
- Maple syrup, for glazing
- 3 green onions, sliced
- 1¾ cups whole milk
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
Supplies Needed:
- Pie plate or pie pan
- Large mixing bowl
- Silicone brush (or small spoon for drizzling syrup)
- Kitchen scissors or a sharp knife
- Baking sheet (to catch any drips)
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk, then stir in the shredded cheese, drained potatoes (or thawed hash browns), sliced green onions, crumbled cooked bacon (reserve extra bacon for the topping), salt, and pepper.
Place the refrigerated pie crust in a pie plate and pour the filling mixture into the crust. Bake at 350°F for about 40 minutes, or until the top is mostly set and firm enough to support the bacon lattice.
While the pie rests briefly, increase oven temperature to 450°F. Arrange the remaining bacon slices into a lattice over the pie. Trim any excess bacon with kitchen scissors or a knife, remembering bacon will shrink as it cooks.
Set the pie on a rimmed baking sheet to catch any bacon grease. Lightly brush or drizzle maple syrup over each bacon strip for a glossy, sweet finish.
Return the pie to the oven and bake at 450°F for 15–20 minutes until the bacon is crisp at the edges and the topping is caramelized. Remove and allow the pie to rest for about 10 minutes before slicing.
This pie is best enjoyed fresh, but leftover slices can be covered with foil and refrigerated for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in the oven to preserve the texture.
Because this dish makes a striking presentation, it’s a lovely option for holiday brunches and special gatherings. If you do have leftovers, wrap tightly and refrigerate. Reheat slices in a 350°F oven until warmed through.
