Bacon Pie for Brunch

by Domestik Goddess on October 2, 2007

A little bit of bacon goes a long way…

If you love the taste of bacon but try to avoid it because of all that saturated fat, Bacon Pie is a quick and easy brunch idea that goes a long way to satisfy that bacon craving.

The recipe makes two pies, so it easily serves 6 people — but works out to only one slice of bacon for each. See? You can indulge a taste for bacon, without blowing a healthy diet!

Bacon Pie

5 – 6 slices of bacon, cooked (not too crisp)
Basic biscuit recipe (dry ingredients only — or 2 cups of a commercial biscuit mix)
¾ cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
½ tsp dry mustard
½ – ⅓ cup milk
1 egg
½ – ¾ cup plain yogurt

Pre-heat oven to 425°F. Grease two standard-sized pie plates (I use a bit of the bacon fat for this).

Combine the biscuit mix, grated cheese, mustard and milk to make a soft dough. Knead about 30 seconds on a lightly floured board. Divide the dough in half and spread each half into one of the greased pie plates.

Crumble the cooked bacon on top.

Combine the egg and yogurt, and spread this over the pies to cover the bacon.

Bake 15 minutes at 425°F.

Cut into wedges and serve warm.

I have a question. If it only makes 2 pies, what is everyone else going to eat?
