To Make the Crust:

Shape the dough into a disk and wrap. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Place the dough on a lightly floured surface and gently roll out to fit a 10 inch pie dish.

Press down the sides of the crust with a fork and poke the bottom with a fork.

Preheat Oven 350 degrees:

Bake the crust for 15 minutes. Let the crust cool before pouring in the filling.

For the Filling:

Cook bacon and set aside.

Heat a griddle and place the jalapeño, sliced onion and clove of garlic. Drizzle with a little olive oil. Remove when a golden color is achieved.

Let the onion and jalapeño cool before mixing.

In a large bowl mix together the eggs, milk, cheeses, chopped jalapeño, onion, grated garlic and bacon. Pour into the cooled pie shell. Grate a little more Romano cheese on top.

Bake 30-35 minutes until eggs are set.
