Instructions
Heat oven to 375 degrees F. Blind bake a scratch or store bought pie crust for 10 minutes. (This helps to prevent a soggy crust). Remove from oven and allow to cool while you prepare the filling.
In a large bowl, whisk together the egg whites, whole egg, salt, pepper, thyme, and heavy cream until well combined.
Layer cooked chicken, bacon, and 1/4 cup cheese in the bottom of pie crust. Pour filling over the top of ingredients. Sprinkle remaining 2 tablespoons cheese over top of filling.
Bake at 375 for 35-45 minutes, or until filling is completely set. Remove from oven and serve warm, garnishing with extra cooked bacon pieces, if desired.
