Instructions

Step 1: Make the crust

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and sugar. Add the chilled butter and mix with a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the ice water, a tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together in a ball. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

On a floured surface, roll out the dough to a 12-inch circle. Transfer the dough to a 9-inch pie dish and trim the excess dough. Prick the bottom of the crust with a fork.

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, and pepper. Stir in the crumbled bacon and shredded cheddar cheese.

Step 5: Bake the pie

Pour the filling into the prepared crust. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown.

Step 6: Let it cool

Allow the pie to cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
