Ingredients
** Butter, salted, 7 tbsp (a stick) * *Kosher Salt, 1/4 tsp * *Hodgson Mill Whole Wheat Pastry Flour, 1.25 cup *Onions, 1 1/2 cup, chopped or sliced as to you liking of texture* Peppers, sweet, red, raw, sliced, 1 1/2 cup *Cottage Cheese, Nancy's Organic Cultured Lowfat, 1 cup * Earth Fare Natural Uncured Turkey Bacon, 8 slices, chopped *Eggs (whole) - 2 large *Egg whites, fresh - 3 large *Fontina Cheese, shredded - 1/2 cup**Ground Nutmeg - 1 1/2 tsp**Rosemary - 1 Tbsp**Red Pepper Flakes - 2 tspSalt and Pepper to taste
First make the crust
Freeze that butter cut up tiny (either cut it up first or freeze it & then cut it up or a combination of either - it's loosey goosy around here).
Mix the pastry flour and the salt
Cut the butter into the flour/salt mix until it combines into a clay-like texture. Squish it into a ball and freeze this dough until you get everything else prepared.
***Preheat Oven to 135* ***
Add a Tbsp of water to your skillet.
Cook the onions, peppers, rosemary and pepper flakes until tender.
Add the chopped turkey bacon to the pan and allow it to brown up a bit.
Blend the nutmeg, and cottage cheese until NO curds are left & texture = smooooth.
Add the eggs and egg whites and blend until combined.
Grab your Pastry crust out of the freezer and roll it out onto a dusting of flour with a floured rolling pin.
Spray a pie dish with a tiny bit of olive oil and form the pastry shell into it. (With all of this work so far, make sure you form the edges pretty.)
Scoop the pepper/onion/bacon mix into the bottom of the pie shell and pour the egg/cheese mix over.
Shred (or sprinkle shredded) cheese over the top.
(A little fontina goes a long way due to it's strength of character).
Bake for 45 mins. as my oven goes. Be sure to keep an eye on it.
