SAUSAGE, BACON BREAKFAST PIE

Steps:

• Pie Crust:.
• Add flour and salt in bowl.
• Cut in shortening till flour resembles small peas.
• Add water and knead till dough is soft and pliable.
• Cover in plastic and chill in refrigerator for 30 minutes.
• Filling:.
• While crust is chilling cook bacon and sausage. Do not drain.
• Whisk eggs in bowel with spices till eggs are fluffy. Set aside.
• Putting it all together:.
• Roll out pie crust on floured surface. Should be thin 1/8 in to 1/4 in will do nicely. (I tend to stay on the 1/8 in side.).
• Roll dough up onto your rolling pin and roll out over 9in deep dish pie plate.
• Gently lift up edges and help crust down into the pie plate starting in the center and moving to the outer edges to remove air out from under crust.
• With a fork poke holes in bottom of pie crust. (this helps air escape so it doesn't bubble up in the middle.).
• Flute edges as desired.
• Whisk an egg yolk and brush over the crust. (this is to help seal crust so it doesn't get soggy while baking.).
• Mix sausage and bacon together and put in pie crust.
• Pour egg and spice mixture into the pie.
• Top with extra sharp cheddar cheese.
• Take the second pie crust and use as a lid on the pie.
• Press edges of both crusts together.
• Using a knife cut vent slices in center of crust in an x pattern.
• Brush lid with rest of whisked yolk.
• Bake at 350 degrees F for 30 min or until crust is golden brown.
• A toothpick inserted in center of pie should come out clean if eggs are done.
