This is a dish I made for the first time. It was an incredible delight this one. The unique blending of the cheese with the bacon and onions made it divine. The leftover we ate it for breakfast and it was so good.
Ingredients

- 2 Cups of flour shopping list
- 1 teaspoon of salt shopping list
- 2/3 Cup + 2 Tablespoon of vegetable shortening shopping list
- 2-3 Tablespoons of cold water shopping list
- For filling: shopping list
- 8 slices of bacon, crumbled shopping list
- 2 1/2 Cups of shredded swiss cheese (I use Emmentaler) shopping list
- 2 Tablespoons of flour shopping list
- 4 eggs shopping list
- 3/4 Cup of Cream shopping list

How to make it
- For dough:
- In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Using a fork, squish the shortening into the flour mixture until only pea-sized crumbles are left. Pour in 1 tablespoon of water and mix well, then a second tablespoon. Mix with your hand at this point. Kneed for a while until it has reached a pliable consistency - it should not be flaky or sticky, but somewhere in between. Only add another tablespoon of water (or less) if it is still flaky.
- Shape dough into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap, and place in the refrigerator for 45 minutes so that the dough can become firm.
- Preheat oven to 177°C (350°F).
- Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp.
- Remove to a towel-lined plate to soak off some of the grease, and once cool, crumble.
- Sauté the onion in the bacon drippings until softened and set aside.
- Place your pie dough in the pie dish so that it’s ready to have everything poured in; set aside.
- In a medium bowl, combine the cheese and flour - mix well. In a large bowl, beat the eggs slightly, and then add cream, half and half, onion, salt, pepper, bacon, and cheese mixture.
- Mix well.
- Ladle into the pie crust-lined pie dish.
