For the Filling:
- 6 large eggs
- 3/4 cup heavy cream (or half & half)
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 1/2 cup cooked ham, diced
- 1/2 cup cooked bacon, crumbled
- 1 (4 oz) can diced green chilies (drained)

- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika

Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Crust
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Roll out the pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish and crimp the edges. (If using crescent roll dough, press it into the dish, sealing any seams.)
- Blind bake the crust: Line with parchment paper and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake for 8-10 minutes, then remove and set aside.
Step 2: Make the Filling
- In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, heavy cream, and sour cream until smooth.
- Stir in cheddar cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, ham, bacon, green chilies, hot sauce, and seasonings. Mix until well combined.
Step 3: Assemble & Bake
- Pour the filling into the partially baked crust.
- Sprinkle a little extra cheese on top.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the center is set and a knife inserted comes out clean.
- Let cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
Step 4: Serve & Enjoy
- Garnish with green onions and extra cheese if desired.
- Serve warm with a side of fruit, toast, or a fresh salad!
Notes
- Make It Spicier: Add diced jalapeños or more hot sauce.
- Meat Substitutes: Swap ham for cooked sausage or turkey bacon.
- Storage: Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat in the oven for best results.
