1. Line a glass pie plate or glass cake pan with crust, crimping top to edges of pan. 2. Preheat oven to 350 ° Fahrenheit. 3. Halve, core, and peel apple, then mince and scatter in bottom of pie plate. 4. Top with minced bacon and chopped Gouda cheese. 5. Whisk eggs in mixing bowl with half and half, then stir in nutmeg, salt and pepper. I recommend using a whole nutmeg with microplane grater, grating enough to dust the custard mixture lightly. 6. Pour custard mixture into pie plate and shake the plate a little to even it out and tap any ingredients that poke up under the wet custard mix. 7. When oven is properly hot, place pie plate on a supporting pan and into oven on a middle shelf. 8. Bake for 35 minutes, then check doneness with a butter knife to see if custard is firm. If it needs more time, go in 5 minute intervals, covering the crust if it browns excessively. 9. Allow to sit undisturbed out of the oven for 20 minutes before slicing. 10. Serve warm. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
