Breakfast/Brunch Pie

Last week my husband asked me, " You should make some dinner pie in your kitchen to sell". That's what I did. I made my dough and used bacon sausages, bacon, eggs, cheese, broccoli, seasonings, cream.... it's like a quiche but I made a gigantic one. I really wanted to use spinach (Chicken Creamy Spinach Pie)  but my husband told me Norwegian don't use so much spinach. I was like don't people want to be as strong as Popeye?  Lesson learn when I'm making food for a gathering or selling I should make extra for myself.

For my pie crust
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup vegetable shortening
1/3 cup butter
1/2 cup shredded cheese ( I used Jarlsberg)
2/3 cup ice water

In a bowl mixed flour, salt, and baking powder, then add shortening and crumbled butter into the flour mixture. I mixed and knead with my hands. Add ice water to moisten the dough. Then dumped dough out onto floured surface and knead dough into a ball. Wrapped dough in plastic and rest for an hour.

Remove from plastic wrap and back on the floured surface. I rolled and knead my pastry dough into a large rectangle shape. Then transferred pastry dough in a baking dish and I used a fork to make little holes.
I prepared my pie filling.
