    I cut this recipe in half to make one pie. Used 4 slices of bacon and swiss cheese. Also used peppers from our local natural foods' store. This would also be good for a potluck. Next year, when we fire up the BBQ, I'll have hubby roast bell peppers for this recipe. Thanks for sharing. cg

    Trinidad Pepper Quiche, A Caribbean take on a classic Super quick with less fat and calories than a traditional Quiche Lorraine The flour mimics the ‘body’ of the traditional Quiche The mild, flavourful, Trinidad Capsicum chinense peppers breathe new life into an old favourite These peppers are a uniquely flavoured habenero with an almost undetectable heat Locally they go by the name pimento or seasoning peppers To Trinidadians they are as invaluable as salt We put them in practically everything we cook We use them to ‘season’ meats, and a host of other dishes Serve with a salad and for those indulgent moments a glass of white wine for dinner, or have a slice for breakfast I usually make two pies and freeze one for later on in the month You can use any kind of mild pepper that appeals to your taste and is available to you locally for this recipe I have also made this using red and green sweet peppers and it’s just as delicious Roasted red peppers would be great too , I cut this recipe in half to make one pie Used 4 slices of bacon and swiss cheese Also used peppers from our local natural foods’ store This would also be good for a potluck Next year, when we fire up the BBQ, I’ll have hubby roast bell peppers for this recipe Thanks for sharing cg

    Crumble 5 Slices Fried Bacon in Unbaked Pie Shell and Cover With 1/2 Cup Cheese. the Rest of the Bacon and Cheese Goes Into the Other Shell. I Tend to Use Back Bacon as There Is Less Visible Fat Than the Streaky Kind.
