Hearty family pie starring bacon and eggs as the main attraction.
Ingredients:
  • 2 sheets frozen shortcrust pastry, just thawed
  • 250g bacon from the deli, rind and excess fat trimmed, coarsely chopped
  • 82.50 ml coarsely grated vintage cheddar
  • 62.50 ml semi-dried tomatoes with fresh basil, chopped
  • 6 eggs
  • Baby spinach leaves & balsamic dressing, to serve
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 180C. Grease a 20cm square cake pan with oil and line the base and sides with 1 pastry sheet.
  • First, scatter half of the bacon, cheese, and tomatoes evenly over the base. Next, crack the eggs individually over the filling. Then, sprinkle with the remaining bacon, cheese, and tomatoes. Finally, season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Gently layer the remaining pastry sheet over the filling, folding both layers of edges to seal (about 1.5cm above the pie). Prick the top with a fork at intervals. Bake until golden for about 50 minutes. Let it cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Enjoy with a side of baby spinach tossed in balsamic vinegar.
