Ingredients
  

  • 3-4 Slices bacon
  • 4 Cups Collard Greens Roughly Chopped
  • 1/2 Medium Sweet Onion Sliced
  • 6 eggs
  • 1/3 Cup Swiss Cheese Shredded
  • 1 Tablespoon cream cheese
  • 1/3 Cup whole milk
  • 1 9 inch Pie Crust Thawed
  • 2 Teaspoons Kosher salt
  • 1/4 Teaspoon Black Pepper

Instructions
 

  • Add bacon into a skillet. Turn pan onto medium heat. Cook until bacon is crispy, then remove and place onto paper towel. Once cooled, crumble the bacon and set aside.
  • Pour the bacon grease in a small bowl. Add about 1 teaspoon back into pan and add the collard greens.
  • Stir over medium heat until they are a bright green and wilted. You should have about 1/2 cup once done cooking. Set aside.
  • Next, add in another teaspoon of bacon grease and add the sliced onion.
  • Cook for about 15-20 minutes minutes until browned and caramelized. If onions begin to burn, you can add small amount of water to the pan. Set aside.
  • Add eggs, milk, cream cheese, salt and pepper into the blender. Blend until well combined.
  • Add cheese, bacon, and collard greens into the pie crust alternating layers of each.
  • Pour blended egg mixture slowly over the filling until it is filled almost to edge of crust. You may have a little extra egg mixture depending on the depth of your pie crust.
  • Bake at 350F for about 40-45 minutes or until set in the middle.
  • Can refrigerate for up to 1 week.
