Most New Zealander’s I know love a slice of bacon and egg pie. I wouldn’t call this so much a recipe as I would an assemblage. There is nothing too challenging about making a bacon and egg pie and you probably won’t ever need this recipe. It does however hold a strong place in my heart so to me, belongs on my blog.
This recipe makes for a really quick and easy lunch or light meal. Combined with a nice salad, you have your self a pretty delicious meal. My Mum would actually be horrified I am even sharing this recipe because it is literally make and bake.
I used the very easy store-bought puff pastry (Mum would also be horrified at this) but the flaky pastry recipe in the Edmonds Cookery book is pretty easy so if you have a bit of time..
I don’t really have too much more to say about this! Enjoy.
Bacon and Egg Pie
- 400 gram packet of store-bought flaky puff pastry
- 200 gram packet of shoulder bacon
- 5 medium-sized eggs
- Salt and pepper
Roll out half the puff pastry on a floured board until you have yourself a lovely rectangle. Lift off the board and shape into a sprayed oven dish. Line the dish with strips of the bacon so the pastry is evenly covered. Crack 5 eggs over the bacon and break up the yolks with a knife. Roll out the second half of the puff pastry and lay over the pie.
Bake at 180 degrees for approximately 45 minutes.
Simple pies like this would be good for snack or breakfast
Mmmm great for breakfast!
