Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Cut the bacon strips into bite-sized pieces.
- Clean the leeks thoroughly and slice them into thin rounds.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the bacon pieces and cook until crispy, about 5-7 minutes.
- Remove the bacon from the skillet and drain on paper towels. Discard most of the bacon fat, leaving a small amount in the skillet.
- Add 2 tbsp of olive oil to the skillet and heat over medium heat.
- Add the sliced leeks to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes, until they are soft and beginning to caramelize. Stir occasionally to ensure they cook evenly.
- Remove the skillet from heat and let the leeks cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, crack and beat the 6 eggs.
- Add the light sour cream and mustard to the eggs and whisk until well combined.
- Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste.
- In a greased pie dish, evenly spread the cooked leeks.
- Scatter the cooked bacon on top of the leeks.
- Pour the egg mixture over the leeks and bacon, ensuring it’s evenly distributed.
- Place the pie dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the pie is set and golden on top.
- You can check for doneness by inserting a knife into the center; if it comes out clean, the pie is ready.
- Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
- Slice and serve warm. Enjoy your delicious Egg, Leek, and Bacon Pie!
Tips:
- When cooking the bacon, ensure it becomes crisp, as this will add a nice texture to the pie.
- Be sure to thoroughly wash and clean the leeks, as dirt can sometimes be hidden between the layers.
- Allow the leeks to cook until they are soft and slightly caramelized to bring out their sweetness.
- Mix the eggs well with the sour cream and mustard to ensure a smooth, evenly flavored filling.
- Bake the pie until the egg mixture is fully set; this can be checked by inserting a knife in the center—it should come out clean.
- Let the pie rest for about 10 minutes after baking to make slicing easier.
