Ingredients1 frozen pie shell or 1 roll refrigerator pie dough
4 strips bacon
4 small leeks, white and light-green parts only, thinly sliced
Kosher salt
4 large eggs
1 1/4 cups whole milk
1 1/2cups shredded Gruyere or Swiss cheese
Freshly ground pepper
1. Bake the pie shell as the label directs. Transfer to a wire rack, and let cool slightly.
2. Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a skillet on medium-high heat until crisp, about five minutes, flipping once. Transfer bacon to a paper-towel-lined plate and let cool; reserve drippings in skillet. Cut or crumble bacon into pieces.
3. Add leeks and one-fourth teaspoon salt to the skillet and cook, stirring and scraping up any brown bits in the pan, until leeks are soft, about five minutes. Remove from the heat; let cool slightly.
4. Whisk the eggs and milk in a large bowl until smooth. Stir in the Gruyere cheese, leek mixture, bacon, and one-fourth teaspoon each salt and pepper.
5. Pour filling into the prepared crust; transfer to a foil-lined baking sheet. Bake at 375 degrees Fahrenheit until the filling sets, about 35 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack, and cool slightly before serving.
