Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.

For pastry:
Combine flour and salt. Cut in shortening until crumbly. Stir in water and mix until dough forms a ball. Press in bottom and up sides of an 8x8" square baking dish. Prick with a fork and bake 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 325 degrees.

For filling:
Sprinkle crust with bacon, cheese, and onion. Beat eggs with cream, salt and red pepper. Pour over top. Bake 20-25 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean. Let stand 10 minutes before cutting.
