Savory Bacon and Paprika Custard Pie

Savory Bacon and Paprika Custard Pie
This rich, satisfying pie is my go-to when I need something deeply comforting with minimal effort. Flaky butter crust envelops a silky paprika-infused custard packed with crispy bacon—simple ingredients that deliver big flavor. It bakes up golden and firm, perfect for a busy weeknight dinner, and disappears fast at the table. Leftovers are a rarity, but if you do have any, it reheats beautifully.
Ingredients
  • 280 g (10 oz) cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 375 g (3 cups) all-purpose flour
  • 5 g (1 tsp) salt
