Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Place the pie crust on the baking sheet and dock the bottom with a fork. Set aside.
In a medium-size mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, half and half, chives, garlic salt, ground mustard, pepper, onion powder and nutmeg until; fully combined. Add 1/2 crumbled bacon to the egg custard and stir.
Sprinkle 1/2 of the cheese and remaining 1/2 of bacon on the bottom of the crust. Pour egg mixture evenly into shell. Sprinkle with remaining shredded cheddar cheese.
Place into the oven and bake for 45-50 minutes or until lightly golden and the center is set when gently shaken. Check at 30 minutes and lay a piece of foil in top to prevent over browning, if needed.
Allow to rest on the counter for 20-30 minutes then slice and serve.
