Pour filling into pie pan and bake until knife inserted near center comes out clean, about 40 - 45 minutes. Cool slightly before cutting into wedges.

This is good but I prefer HAM AND CHEESE so I use recipe above but do following substitutions and it still tastes awesome! I slice up some ham instead of the bacon, I also use 1 Cup EGG SUBSTITUTE rather than 4 eggs and I use the low fat cheddar cheese.

Follow same directions putting in substitutions.... but I usually only cook it for about 35 minutes so watch it as you don't want it to burn.

ENJOY... it's really TASTY!
