square slices taste the best
Anyone got a bacon and egg pie recipe? Never heard of them here but to me sounds like the perfect breakfast. Tasty and Healthy! haha
like Pavlova, @Bavarian_Hunter, they are a Kiwi invention ... when I get time I'll put mine up for you.
Bacon, Full eggs straight from the shell,peas,potato and tomatoes and Im an expert at eating them so dont question my wisdom:thumbsup:
The contents and ratio thereof are up to you. All I can say is this is whats in mine and all these other guys have no fcking idea
Contents :
Pre cooked bacon , Caramelised onions, and frozen peas cooked in the jus made from frying the onions and bacon.
Tomatoes cut as you like.
Eggs : some whole, some not ...
Method :
Blind bake a Savoury Shortcrust pastry .. I bake mine in my cast iron frying pan ..
Put your ingredients into the blind backed shell and bake until done thru (approx 30-40 min) . (test using a toothpick or wooden skewer ...
Simple.
If you DON'T blind bake the pasty, you'll end up with undercooked pastry
If you blindbake the pastry for too long it will burn when you bake the ingredients ...
Interesting, I use a flaky pastry, no need to blind bake, just set the pie lower in the oven.
That sounds quite tasty @kiwi39 my question to this thread was answered very early on. Do whatever the duck floats your boat. I too had a base for mine. But it was puff that I docked egg washed and pre baked. Followed were about 10 whole eggs straight in then I pricked the yolk and seasoned followed was the bacon that I had already fried. then the peas that had been blanched for about 30 seconds. Then a mix of 2 eggs and a slug of cream, seasoned, just to fill the gaps. Then puff top. Egg wash. about 25-30 mins @190. All good

Peas have no place in pie especially with Bacon and Eggs :thumbsup:
Haha to pea or not to pea! at least if we're getting so hot under the collar about a little we green ball of goodness we musnt have to much else to worry about;)
Im a big fan of peas and onions in a bacon and egg pie, the perfect amount of sweetness to compliment the savoury, just to bland and dry without them:sick:
Mmmm got me all work up just thinking about it, might have to be my sunday special:P
Dont even get my started on a bacon, egg and sausage pie, thats some serious next level shit:cool:
At last a man with TASTE!:thumbsup:
I grate gruyere or tasty or edam cheese over the pastry before adding the parboiled bacon and eggs which I beat up with little cream...(adding asparagus is never a good idea cos it holds too much moisture)then put a lid of pastry on top...the secret is I reckon is getting the contents to the right consistency...you need to be able to hold a slab of it either in the boat on a wavey sea or on a log up the river among the wandering jew...with just enough flakes of corner pastry to fall away for the dog to be happy too...:D
I think the beauty of the bacon and egg pie is that really you can add what you like...that is why it is such a great pie...everyone has their own ideas on that matter which is perfect...
BH, here's a standard recipe...
You can either make a batch of short crust savoury pastry or buy a packet from the supermarket...if you were being really fussy you would use the short crust on the base and flakey on the top cos the shortcrust absorbs any moisture better than flakey...
Cut some rashers of bacon, allow at least six or so, then break in 5 to 6 eggs...add salt and pepper...then you could add whatever you fancy...bake at 180-200c for 30 or so minutes until golden...
Slices of cheese on the bottom layer of pastry stops it going soggy, and use a tin of baked beans, not peas.
See what I mean ?? Yiu guys don't know proper B+E pie. You'd probably have yours with a triple soy latté ay @Maca49 ???
:cool:
Hmm probably need an expert like Angus to sort. know this however. Don't put ya pie in a chilly bin with ya Beer on the trailer. Not a nice combo when the pie is soggy, and the beer is flat and half empty
i rekin the less items the better, mine was horrible because i put everything i could think of into it
No fucken pie needs veges!!! That is why pies are eaten!:)
Like em any which way really but some tomato and a touch of cheese really brings em to life.
Bit bland with only bacon and eggs.
Bacon, egg, S&P and cream. Easy. Served with tomato sauce though. I hate tomato sauce with bacon and eggs in any other configuration though. Hmmm.
Dear oh dear I'm surounded by vegetarians, tasteless heathens and the miss informed. If your pie has ANYTHING but bacon egg pepper and salt wrapped in pastry, it is no longer a b&e pie!!!
That is all move along now.:smash:
