Recipe View Turn on oven's broiler. Broil pie until top is lightly golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Watch carefully to prevent burning! (3 minutes)

For a vegetarian option, omit the bacon and add a tablespoon of olive oil when sautéing the onion.
Feel free to experiment with different cheeses. Goat cheese or ricotta would also be delicious.
If you don't have an oven-safe skillet, transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish before baking.
