Once you've tried this pie,you will make it all the time. It is so easy to make . There are other pies out there that are similar but the Gruyere cheese gives it a rich taste.

How To Make bacon onion and cheese pie

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350. Fry bacon, remove and pat with paper towels and leave fat in the pan.

Step 2

Add onions to the pan and brown. Sprinkle with salt. Once they are browned , let them cool.
Step 3

Mix ricotta, egg yolk and Gruyere in a separate dish. Spread into the pie shell. Scrap onions on top of that, ( even the little brown bits) than shake Parmesan on top. Sprinkle with pepper.
Step 4

Spread bacon evenly on top of that and bake until the pie shell has baked, approx. 30 - 40 minutes depending on your oven. ( when the pie shell has baked a golden brown, that's when I take it out)
Step 5

Enjoy all the raves!!
