BACON AND EGG PIE RECIPE

Ingredients

4 Sheets Butter Frozen Puff Pastry
10 Eggs
1/2 lb / 250g Bacon
1/2 tsp Salt
1/2 tsp Pepper
2 Tbsp Milk
Tomato Sauce or Tomato Relish to serve

Instructions

Remove your pastry from the freezer and give it 5-10 minutes to defrost.
Cut your bacon into 1-2cm pieces and fry off in a pan for 5-10 minutes until slightly crispy. This step isn’t necessary but I think it makes a much better pie to cook off the bacon first.
Take your baking dish, 30cm x 20cm rectangle works best, and line it with the pastry, joining it through the center to make it longer. Leave a small overhang of pastry on the sides.
Crack in half of the eggs into the baking dish and optionally use a fork to break them up a small amount. You can leave them all whole or just a few depending what you prefer.
Top the eggs with half of the bacon, then the other half of the eggs. I leave some of these eggs whole here. Finally sprinkle over the remaining bacon.
Take your second 2 sheets of pastry and join them in the center. Place the pastry gently over the bacon and eggs.
Use a fork to crimp the edges of the pie, sealing it in. Remove any excess pastry. I always use any leftover pastry to make decorations for the top of the pie. Here I’ve cut out leave shapes and rolled up lengths of the pastry to make flowers.
Brush the pie all over with the milk.
Place the pie in a 200C / 400F oven for about 35-40 minutes or until puffed up and golden brown. You can test the pie to make sure the eggs are fully cooked by inserting a knife into the center. It should come out clean.
Let the pie cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. This pie works just as well cold the next day as it does hot, making it perfect for leftovers.

Notes

The pie will last for 2-3 days in the fridge in an airtight container. It can be reheated or served cold.

Bacon and egg pie can be frozen. Cut the leftover pie into pieces and place in an airtight container and into the freezer for up to 3 months. It’s best to thaw the pie before reheating.

I've been researching pies for my own channel and came across your video. This looks easy to make and delicious -- pinned it! Thanks for sharing. :)

Do not break the yolks up. Traditional Kiwi B&E pie has whole eggs and is served cold.

is butter puff pastry different than just regular frozen puff pastry ? I am in the USA and not sure if we have different varieties of puff pastry

I prefer the version where you put the bacon on the bottom to stop the eggs making the pastry soggy.
Also top bacon with onion before adding whole eggs with pepper. I have done two versions one with pre-cooked bacon and onion and one version un-cooked. I enjoy both. What I prefer the most is nothing else being added. For me, adding cheese, mushrooms or any other ingredient makes it a quiche with a lid. Food then becomes all the same so eating an E&B pie is the same as eating a quiche with extra pastry. I'm just say'n!

Carina, your pie looks lovely. Your profile pic looks almost exactly like Fern Arable from the Hanna-Barbera adaptation of Charlotte's Web from 1973. What do you recommend when making dolce de leche?
