• While the crust is hot, spread the cream cheese all over the bottom as evenly as possible.
• Sprinkle over the cream cheese the diced jalapenos (the rounds are for garnish later on).
• Put the cream and half-and-half into a small pot and put it over medium heat about 5 minutes or until tiny bubbles appear around the edges. Scald (where you bring it to just under the boiling point) until very hot, but not boiling.

• Add the hot cream mixture to the eggs, whisking constantly to combine. Add the paprika, salt and bacon.
• Pour into the crust and bake for 30 minutes.
