Bacon and Egg Pie

This pie is so good my husband proposed to me the first time I made it for him! I still make it often, especially for picnics.

Prep time:
10 mins
Cook time:
55 mins
Serves:
6-8
  • 450g/15oz shortcrust or flaky puff pastry or 3 sheets shortcrust or puff pastry
  • 250g/8oz streaky bacon, chopped
  • 2 potatoes, peeled, cooked and thinly sliced
  • 3 tbsp chopped soft herbs, such as parsley or basil leaves
  • 14 eggs
  • ¾ cup milk
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ground black pepper, to taste

Preheat oven to 200°C/400°F fanbake. Preheat a pizza stone or oven tray.

Cut a piece of baking paper to fit a 40cm x 30cm/16in x 12in oven dish or roasting dish (it should cover the base and reach about 4cm/1½in up the sides). Put paper on a bench, dust with a little flour and roll out two-thirds of the pastry to cover the paper, or jigsaw 2 pastry sheets to the same shape as the paper and press together firmly with a small overlap (you may need to roll them out slightly to fit). Lift the paper with the pastry and fit it into the oven dish or roasting dish.

Sprinkle bacon over pastry, top with potato and sprinkle with herbs. Break in 8 whole eggs. In a mixing bowl, lightly whisk the remaining 6 eggs with the milk, salt and pepper. Pour evenly over the whole eggs. Roll out remaining pastry thinly and cut into narrow strips. Arrange in a lattice on the pie. Brush with a little of the egg mixture to glaze. Place on heated oven tray and bake until pastry is starting to puff (12-15 minutes). Reduce heat to 180°C/350°F and bake until pastry is golden and egg is set in the middle (a further 30-40 minutes). Serve warm or at room temperature. It will keep in a covered container in the fridge for 2-3 days.

This does look great, just one question: in the video, the baking dish doesn't look 30 x 40cm (which is quite big - it would require 38cm wide baking paper to cut to fit, mine is only 30cm wide!). Is that actually the dish size used?

Hi, Just made pie. Looks great. I was planning to freeze it but some one tells me you can't freeze eggs that aren't mixed. What Is your advise.?

I made the Bacon and Egg pie today, it turned out so well and it was delicious. I will certainly make this again. This would also be a fantastic slice to take to a picnic to share.

Since seeing this recipe on here I decided to give it a try and make it for my family "wow" I can honestly say that it was a pleasure to make there were satisfied smiles and empty plates in my household recently, I even had a little leftover which was great to pack for the kids school lunches, w thanks Annabel from myself and the family.

I made this last week. Love the addition of the potato. Only had puff pastry in freezer so used that and it was really good. Made a huge pie, enough for leftovers the following day :-). going to make it again on the weekend. Thanks Annabel, would never of thought of doing a B&E pie this way.

Have adopted this version of a good ole favorite, the potatoe addition works well, you do need to use a really tasty bacon I sneek in a wee bit of finely chopped onion sometimes Enjoy!
