💭 Recipe Tips

• If you like, you can use turkey bacon for pork bacon. It’s fine if you want neither of those things. Sauté the mushrooms and garlic in butter, or use bacon drippings.
• Make use of your preferred cheese. It’s best with a medium or sharp cheddar, but any will do.
• Be sure to grease the pie pan before placing the first puff pastry crust inside to prevent it from sticking and making cleanup a chore.
