1 (9 inch) Pie crust
5 Ounces uncooked bacon
4 Ounces grated Emmentaler cheese
3 Eggs
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup milk

Preheat oven to 400 F.
Roll the pie dough into a large circle and place into a pie dish. Flute the edges decoratively. Place wax paper on top of the dough, lay dry beans or pie weights on it and bake for 12-15 minutes. Remove wax paper and beans, let cool.
Decrease the oven temperature to 350 F.
Dice the bacon and cook in a small skillet until crispy. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon and place on a plate lined with a paper towel to drain.
Whisk together the eggs, cream, milk, salt, pepper, and nutmeg in a large bowl. Evenly spread out the bacon and cheese on the cooked pie crust. Pour egg mixture on top.
Bake for 35 minutes or until a knife comes out clean and the filling is evenly set.
