Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 9-inch pie crust (homemade or store-bought)
  • 1 1/2 lbs Yukon Gold or russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch slices
  • 6 slices thick-cut bacon (about 6 oz), chopped
  • 1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 3 tbsp honey, plus more for drizzling
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream (or whole milk)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tbsp fresh chives or green onions, finely chopped (optional)
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp dried thyme or Italian herbs
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (for roasting potatoes)
  • Extra chopped chives or green onions for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Let pie crust come to room temperature for 10 minutes, then fit into a 9-inch pie dish and crimp edges. Prick bottom with a fork and freeze while preparing filling.
  2. In a large bowl, toss sliced potatoes with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Arrange on a parchment-lined baking sheet in a single layer. Roast for 18-20 minutes until just tender and starting to turn golden, stirring halfway if needed.
  3. While potatoes roast, cook chopped bacon in a skillet over medium heat for 6-8 minutes until crispy. Transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate, leaving 2 tablespoons bacon fat in the pan. Add sliced onion and sauté for 5-7 minutes until soft and lightly caramelized.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, cream, honey, paprika, thyme, and remaining salt and pepper. Stir in both cheeses, half the cooked bacon, and half the onions.
  5. Layer half the roasted potatoes in the chilled pie crust. Top with half the remaining bacon and onions. Repeat with the rest of the potatoes, then scatter over the last of the bacon and onions. Pour the egg-cheese mixture evenly over the top, gently pressing down with a spatula.
  6. Place pie dish on a baking sheet. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15 minutes, then lower heat to 350°F (175°C) and bake another 30-35 minutes until the top is golden and the center is just set. Cover edges with foil if browning too quickly.
  7. Let the pie cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing. Drizzle with extra honey and sprinkle with fresh chives or green onions. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Roast potatoes instead of boiling for best texture. Layer ingredients for even flavor. Let the pie rest before slicing for clean cuts. Easily adaptable: use gluten-free crust, dairy-free cheese, or swap bacon for mushrooms. Leftovers store well and taste great reheated.
