Instructions
- In your food processor fitted with the dough blade combine the flour and sugar and pulse to combine.

- Roll the dough out into a large circle and transfer it to the pie dish, prick the dough with a fork and bake for 10-12 minutes, until lightly golden.
- Drop the oven temperature down to 400º and evenly spread the bacon over the crust.
- Add the egg mixture on top of the bacon and return to the oven for 25-30 minutes until the center is set.
- Remove from the oven carefully and cool 10 minutes, slice and serve.
