1

Heat oven to 400°F. In skillet or microwave, cook bacon until crisp; drain on paper towels. Crumble bacon; set aside.

Meanwhile, line cookie sheet with heavy-duty foil. Remove pie crust from pouch; place crust flat between 2 sheets of waxed paper. With rolling pin, roll crust into 14x12-inch oval. Remove top waxed paper; carefully turn pie crust over onto cookie sheet. Remove waxed paper.
3

Spread 2 tablespoons of the mayonnaise evenly over crust to within 2 inches of edge. Sprinkle Monterey Jack cheese over mayonnaise.
4

In small bowl, mix chicken, remaining 2 tablespoons mayonnaise, the mustard, lemon juice, black pepper, celery salt, salt and ground red pepper. Spoon mixture over Monterey Jack cheese. Sprinkle with crumbled bacon. Sprinkle Cheddar cheese over top.
5

Fold 2-inch edge of crust up over filling, pleating crust as necessary and leaving 5x7-inch oval opening in center. Gently press down on edge to securely enclose filling.
6

In small bowl, beat egg yolk and water with fork. Generously brush yolk mixture over crust; sprinkle crust with sesame seed.
