Posted by Grandma Jeanne on December 21, 2005

1 unbaked 9-inch pastry shell
6 eggs, lightly beaten
8 slices bacon, cooked, drained, and crumbled (or substitute 1/2 pound diced ham)
1 cups shredded Swiss cheese
1-1/4 cups 1/2 and 1/2
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon white pepper

Brush pastry shell with a small amount of beaten egg. Prick bottom and sides of pastry shell with fork.

Bake shell at 450 degrees until shell is golden brown – about 5 minutes. Cool on wire rack.

Sprinkle bacon and cheese in pastry shell.

Combine remaining ingredients, and beat until thoroughly blended. Pour into pastry shell.

Reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees.

Bake 35 to 40 minutes or until knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

Let stand 5 minutes before serving.

Serves 6.
