Method:

1. Preheat oven and cookie sheet to 425°F. Drain chilies and dry with toweling.

2. Remove rib and seeds. Chop in large pieces. Crumble bacon and mix with chopped chilies. Sprinkle Swiss cheese on bottom of unbaked pie shell, then chilies and bacon.

3. Mix together eggs, cream, salt and nutmeg. Slowly pour over cheese mixture. (The pie will be very full, but should not spill over.)
