Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, and black pepper until well combined and frothy.
  4. Evenly sprinkle the crumbled bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped green onions over the bottom of the prepared pie crust.
