For the filling you will need, bacon or any type of ham, half an onion, parmesan cheese, 3 eggs, any type of milk and finally, cream.

- Blind-bake the pie crust for about 20 minutes.
- In the meantime, chop the onion and bacon.
- Cook them in a frying pan for a couple of minutes or until browned.
- In a bowl, add the eggs, cream, milk, salt and pepper and mix together until light and fluffy.
- Once the pie crust is ready, add the bacon and onion pieces on top then add the parmesan cheese on top of them.
- Pour the egg mixture on top of them and bake for another 25-30 minutes or until the top is golden.
- Let cool slightly before cutting into it then enjoy!

I'm concerned that the crust (look at your pics) is 1/2 raw/underdone.
