For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding sauteed onions or mushrooms to the bacon mixture. If you don't have smoked Gouda, Gruyere or sharp cheddar would also work well. To prevent the crust from getting soggy, blind bake it with pie weights before adding the filling. Feel free to customize the filling with your favorite vegetables or cheeses. Serve warm for the best flavor and texture.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) with racks in the middle and lowest positions. Gather all ingredients. (5 minutes)
02
StepUnfurl pie crust and trace the bottom of a 10-inch cast-iron skillet using a paring knife; discard trimmings. Fit trimmed pie crust into the bottom of the skillet and dock all over with a fork. (10 minutes)
03
StepBake in the preheated oven on the lowest rack until just starting to brown, about 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly, about 5 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).
04
StepMeanwhile, place bacon in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and crisp, about 8 minutes. Transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate.
05
StepWhile the crust cools, whisk together eggs, milk, dry mustard, pepper, garlic powder, and salt in a bowl until thoroughly combined. Set aside. (5 minutes)
06
StepRoll up 8 crescent rolls as per package instructions. Arrange rolls around the outer edge of the pie crust along the side of the skillet. Sprinkle bottom crust with 1/2 cup cheese and top with 1/2 of the cooked bacon. Pour egg mixture evenly over top, making sure not to get on top of the crescent rolls. (10 minutes)
07
StepBake at 350 degrees F (180 degrees C) on the middle rack until crescent rolls are golden brown and the egg is just beginning to set, about 20 minutes. Sprinkle evenly with remaining 2 tablespoons bacon and cheese, and loosely tent with aluminum foil. Return to the oven on the middle rack and continue baking until the sides are golden and the center jiggles just slightly, about 20 minutes.
08
StepRemove from the oven and let sit for 10 minutes. Carefully transfer pie to a cutting board (or, alternatively, serve in the skillet) and slice into 8 servings. Sprinkle with chives. (15 minutes)
