2 unbaked 9-inch pie shells (frozen works well)
10 slices bacon, fried crisp (diced) or 1 cup cooked ham (diced)
1 1 cup swiss cheese or 1 cup cheddar cheese
3 tablespoons flour
1/4 teaspoon salt (bacon is usually salty enough for me) (optional)
2 teaspoons black peppercorns (crushed)
2 2 cups evaporated milk, for a creamier texturre or 2 cups cream, for a creamier texture
6 eggs (slightly beaten)
1 onion (finely chopped)
8 pimento pepper (Trinidad Capsicum chinense.Use a mix of red and green for visual appeal)

1
Crumble 5 slices fried bacon in unbaked pie shell and cover with 1/2 cup cheese. The rest of the bacon and cheese goes into the other shell. I tend to use back bacon as there is less visible fat than the streaky kind.
2
Combine flour, salt and crushed peppercorns, add evaporated milk and eggs. Really any kind of milk works well depends on how rich you want it. I use skimmed milk.
3
Blend well and add chopped onion and chopped peppers . Pour into pie shells.
4
Bake in a pre heated oven at 375 degrees F for 20 - 25 minutes or until inserted knife comes out clean.
5
Slice and serve with a salad or use mini pastry shells for hors d'oeuvres.
