How to Make Bacon Cheese Puff Pie
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Fry 4 slices of bacon until crisp. Drain on paper towels and crumble.
- Unroll one package (14.1 oz) of refrigerated crescent roll dough and separate into 8 triangles.
- Place triangles in a 9-inch pie plate, with the narrow points meeting in the center. Press edges to seal, forming a crust.
- Evenly sprinkle the crumbled bacon over the crust.
- Arrange 2-3 medium tomatoes, thinly sliced, over the bacon.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Top with 4-5 slices of cheddar cheese (about 1/2 cup shredded cheese could be substituted).
- In a separate bowl, beat 2 large egg whites until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 1 large egg yolk, 1/2 cup sour cream, 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and a dash of black pepper.
- Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the egg yolk mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour the egg mixture evenly over the cheese layer.
- Sprinkle with a pinch of paprika.
- Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
