  • Bake in a 450 degree oven for 8 minutes.
  • Remove foil. Bake for 4 to 5 minutes more.
  • Remove from oven. Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees.

  • Finely crumble bacon; set aside.
  • Cook sliced onion and mushrooms in reserved drippings over medium heat until tender but not brown; drain.

  • Pour egg mixture into hot, baked pastry shell.
  • Bake in the 325 degree oven for 50 to 60 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
  • If necessary, cover edge of crust with foil to prevent over browning. Let stand 10 minutes.
