Savory Bacon Pumpkin Pie Recipe You Must Try

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup of freshly cubed pumpkin pieces
• 1 1/2 cups of softened cream cheese
• A generous cup of richly packed brown sugar
• Three wholesome eggs
• A dash of flavorful vanilla extract
• A delightful cup of half-and-half
• A sprinkle of aromatic ground cinnamon
• A pinch of zesty ground ginger
• A hint of warm ground allspice
• A touch of fragrant ground cloves
• Two ready-made 10-inch graham cracker pie crusts
• Sixteen slices of delectable maple-cured bacon

Step 1

To begin, preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C) for that perfect pie crust.

Step 2

Get a small pot of water boiling with a dash of salt. Add in the pumpkin and let it cook until it's tender enough to easily pierce with a fork, which usually takes about 10 minutes. Once done, drain the pumpkin well.

Step 3

Next, grab your favorite spacious bowl and start mashing the cooked pumpkin using a trusty potato masher. Blend in the cream cheese and brown sugar until smooth. Slowly whisk in the eggs one by one. Now, add in the vanilla, half-and-half, cinnamon, ginger, allspice, and cloves. Stir everything together until you achieve a batter that's slightly thinner than your usual pancake mix.

Step 4

Carefully pour this luscious batter into your awaiting pie crusts.

Step 5

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until it's perfectly browned. Remove any excess fatty bits and gently press 7 bacon pieces into the batter of each pie using a fork.

Step 6

Pop those pies into the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Then, reduce the heat to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Top each pie with 2 more pieces of crispy cooked bacon and bake for an additional 30 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 7

Allow your savory pies to cool completely before serving. Enjoy this delicious and unique twist on a classic pumpkin pie recipe!
