Happy National Pie Day!!!!!!!!!!!!
Okay, well, yes, I will admit that I am a day late, but still, y'all, let's CELEBRATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I do have a good excuse for missing yesterday. A sweet lady from church and her granddaughter and grandson-in-law invited us to go out to eat with them after church. I had planned on celebrating National Pie Day yesterday, but I think celebrating dear friends visiting is way more important!!!
On with the pie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In honor of the day, I chose to celebrate with a simple quiche this year!!! Nope, no dessert pie here this year, but in it's stead a yummy and super easy bacon and cheese quiche. Yum!!
Bacon and Cheese Quiche
1/2 lb cooked bacon, diced
1/2 cup shredded cheese of choice (I used mozzarella and parmesan)
1 (9 inch) deep dish pie crust (uncooked)
4 eggs
1 cup half and half OR whipping cream
1/2 t salt
1/4 t pepper
dash of garlic powder
Place bacon and cheese in the bottom of the pie crust. In a bowl, whisk together remaining ingredients and pour into pie shell. Place on a baking sheet and bake at 375 degrees for 40 to 50 minutes until center is puffed. Allow quiche to stand 5 minutes before cutting.
(Note: I usually use PioneerWoman's pie crust recipe, but this time I used the Cream Cheese Pastry Dough from Mad Hungry.)

Mmmmm...that looks tasty. Sorry I didn't get to participate in the baking part, but I will participate in the salivating over pictures part. :-D
A blogger friend and I participated in NPD as well as a few other members of our church!
Good Morning Mrs. U. The recipes for the pies are on my blog now. I was a little lazy in posting them when I made the pies. :)
Thanks, Have a great day.

Looks good, didn't even know about NPD. My husband missed out!
Hope things are going well.
Are you kidding? There's a national pie day? I need a reason to fall off the diet wagon...lol.
Looks very good.
You have a great blog.
That quiche looks amazing.
