Potatoe Pie with St. Damase

Ingredients

2 large potatoes
5 oz Candian St. Damase cheese
1 onion
8 slices bacon or pancetta
2 tbsp butter
2 eggs
1/2 cup whipping cream
salt and pepper to taste
1 unbaked pie or pizza crust

Directions
1. Cut potatoes and St. Damase cheese in small dice, chop onion and bacon.

2. Heat butter in saucepan, saute onion over low heat without browning. Add bacon, (or pancetta) and cook 5 minutes. Mix in potatoe dice and cook 5 more minutes, then drain and set aside.

3. Preheat oven to 350.

4. In a bowl, beat eggs, then blend in cream and St. Damase cheese. Season with salt and pepper. Spread potatoe mixture on uncooked crust, then pour over egg mixture.

5. Bake in oven 30-40 minutes until golden.

After making this for the first time tonight I learned a few things. I think pizza crust will taste better than the pie crust did. I also think it would be a good idea to put it in a pie plate so the edges are slightly raised. That would keep the egg mixture over all the potatoe mixture and not running to one side. It isn't quite enough for dinner, (which is when we had it), but it would make a very hearty breakfast.
