Delicious brunch dish for a crowd.
Ingredients:
  • 4 (29 x 29cm) large sheets ready-rolled shortcrust pastry*
  • 500g lean bacon rashers, rind removed, chopped
  • 250.00 ml grated cheddar cheese
  • 13 eggs
  • 20.00 ml chopped flat-leaf parsley
  • Tomato sauce, to serve
Instructions:
  • Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius.
  • Prepare a 25 x 30 x 3cm baking tray by greasing it. Line the base and sides with 2 sheets of puff pastry, ensuring the pastry fits snugly into the corners and sealing the join down the middle. Chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
  • Cook the bacon in a heavy-based frying pan until it starts to crisp, then set aside on paper towels to drain and cool. Sprinkle half of the cooked bacon into the pastry-lined pan, followed by the cheese. Crack 12 eggs over the cheese, then top with the remaining bacon and parsley.
  • Brush the pastry edges with a mixture of the remaining egg and 1 tablespoon of water. Place two sheets of pastry on top, press edges to seal, then pinch them together. Brush the top of the pastry with the remaining beaten egg.
  • Make two decorative air holes on the top with a knife, then bake in the oven until golden for 45 minutes. Allow it to cool for 10 minutes before serving.
  • Serve the warm egg and bacon slice with tomato sauce.
