What you need:

Ingredients: Crust:

• 1 cup flour

• 1/3 cup cold butter, cut into 1-inch chunks

• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan

• 2-4 tablespoons ice water

• freshly ground black pepper

Filling:

• 5 slices thick cut bacon, cooked and cut into bite-sized pieced

• 2 goose eggs

• 1 1/4 cups milk

• 1 bunch greens, stemmed and chopped

• 1/2 medium onion, diced

• 3/4 cup shaved Parmesan

• salt

• freshly ground black pepper

Instructions:

• Preheat oven to 425. Place the flour, butter, cheese and pepper into a food processor. Add water one tablespoon at a time and pulse just until mixture sticks together. Form the dough into a ball. Roll out into a crust and place in a pie plate. If the dough sticks to the rolling pin, try rolling it out between two sheets of parchment paper. Prick with a fork. Bake for 10 minutes or until just browned. Turn oven down to 325.

• Meanwhile, cook bacon and cut into small pieces. Remove bacon and all but 2 tablespoons grease. Saute the onion and greens in bacon grease until the onion is soft and translucent and the greens are wilted. Allow to cool to room temperature.

• In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk and eggs. Stir in cheese, salt and pepper. Add onion and greens mixture.

• Pour into prepared pie crust. Bake 40 - 45 minutes at 325.
