Whisk together eggs, salt, and black pepper in a 4-cup measuring cup. Then, whisk in whole milk.
Mix together freshly shredded mozzarella and extra sharp cheddar cheeses.

Sprinkle the remaining bacon on top, reserving about a tablespoon.
Pour the prepared custard mixture into the filled crust. Sprinkle reserved bacon and cheese over the top. Bake at 350°F for 45-50 minutes.
