Notes
For a crispy crust, ensure your pie crust is pre-baked before adding the filling. You can use leftover bacon or any cooked meat you have on hand. Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese for varied flavors. Fresh herbs can be added during assembly for extra flavor. To store the pie, let it cool completely, then place it in an airtight container and keep it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the pie for up to a month. Just make sure to wrap it well before putting it in the freezer.
