Butter, for greasing the pan
Flour, for dusting the pan
1 9 inch pie crust
1 egg white, lightly beaten
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
3 ounces pancetta, cut into pieces
5 eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 cup mascarpone cheese
2 cups shredded Grugere cheese
3 green onions, sliced
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
(The store was out of mascarpone, so I just used low fat cream cheese. The pancetta didn't look that great, so I just used bacon).
Preheat oven to 400. Butter and flour the bottom and sides of the tart/pie pain. With tines of fort, prick the pastry. Using a pastry brush, coat the crust with the beaten egg white. Put the pan on a baking sheet and bake until the egg white has set, about 10 minutes. Allow to cool for about 10 minutes.
In a medium skillet, heat the oil over medium high heat. Add the pancetta and cook, stirring frequently, until brown and crispy. Drain on paper towel.
In a medium bowl, combine the beaten eggs, mascarpone, Gruyere, green onions, salt, pepper, and pancetta. Mix until smooth. Pour the mixture into the crust and bake until the mixtrue has set and the top is golden, about 18-20 minutes. Cool and serve.
