Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400ºF.
2. Make the crust and don’t worry about rolling it out, just press it into an ungreased 9″ pie dish and set aside.
3. Preheat a large skillet to medium low heat and melt 2 tablespoon butter in the pan.
4. Add the sliced onions to the pan and cook for 15-20 minutes. You do not want them to brown, but you want them to cook slowly until very soft (this makes them really sweet).
5. After 15 minutes of cooking the onions, add the sliced mushrooms and cover the pan to allow the mushrooms to cook down. Season with salt and pepper.
6. In a medium bowl add the eggs, milk and freshly grated nutmeg and mix well. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in cheese and bacon.
7. Pour egg mixture into pie shell and add in the cooked onions and mushrooms. Top with cherry tomatoes if desired.
8. Bake for 40-50 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
