Ingredients

6

6 servings

  • nonstick cooking spray
  • 1 (9 inch) refrigerated pie dough
  • 6 large white mushrooms, chopped
  • 4 slices thick-cut bacon, chopped
  • 7 large eggs
  • 0.75 cup heavy cream
  • 3 ounces grated Gruyere cheese
  • 4 medium scallions, thinly sliced
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 12 yellow squash blossoms

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 9-inch pie pan with nonstick spray.
  • Place pie dough in the prepared pie pan. Poke a few holes in the bottom with a fork. Line with a double layer of aluminum foil and a layer of pie weights or dried beans.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until edge of crust is golden, about 15 minutes. Carefully remove the foil and weights; continue baking until the crust sets, about 5 minutes more.
  • Remove from the oven and place on a wire rack; let cool to room temperature, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • While the crust is cooling, spray a skillet with nonstick spray and place over medium heat. Add onions and sauté until tender, about 5 minutes. Remove to a plate.
  • Add bacon to the skillet and cook until browned and crispy, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Whisk together eggs and cream in a bowl; season with salt and pepper.
  • Sprinkle grated Gruyere cheese over the bottom of the cooled crust. Spread sautéed mushrooms, bacon, and scallions evenly over top. Pour egg mixture over top. Place squash blossoms in a decorative pattern on top of the egg mixture.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until eggs are firm with no jiggling, 35 to 40 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and cool 5 to 10 minutes before slicing.
