Time 1h40m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

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

Steps:

  • 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.
