Ingredients:

• Lean bacon (6 rashers)
• Potatoes (2 medium-sized)
• Eggs (3-4)
• Milk
• Ready-made pastry (enough to line a shallow quiche tin and make a lid)
• Pepper (to taste)
• Salt (very little, optional)
• Onion (1, if not using bacon)
• Minced beef (if not using bacon)
• Chopped boiled eggs (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Pastry:

   • Line a shallow quiche tin with some of the pastry, reserving some for the lid.

2. Prepare the Bacon:

   • Grill the rashers of bacon until they are cooked to your desired crispiness.
   • Remove the rind and fat if preferred, then cut the bacon into bite-size pieces.

3. Layer the Pie:

   • Spread the grilled bacon pieces evenly over the base of the prepared pastry.
   • Thinly slice the potatoes and sauté them until they are lightly golden and tender.
   • Spread the sautéed potatoes over the bacon layer.
   • Season the filling with pepper, adding very little salt if desired (as the bacon may already be salty).

4. Prepare the Egg Mixture:

   • Lightly beat 3 or 4 eggs in a bowl.
   • Season the beaten eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
   • If desired, add chopped boiled eggs to the egg mixture for extra flavor and texture.

5. Assemble the Pie:

   • Pour the seasoned egg mixture evenly over the filling in the pastry-lined tin.

6. Add the Pastry Lid:

   • Place the remaining pastry on top of the pie as a lid.
   • Seal the edges of the pastry together to enclose the filling.
   • Brush the top of the pastry lid with a little milk to give it a golden finish when baked.

7. Bake the Pie:

   • Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).
   • Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 15 minutes to set the pastry.
   • After 15 minutes, reduce the oven temperature to 180°C (350°F).
   • Continue baking the pie for an additional 45 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and the filling is set.

8. Serve and Enjoy!

   • Once baked, allow the pie to cool slightly before slicing.
   • Serve warm, either as a hearty breakfast or a delicious brunch option.

Variations:

• Vegetarian Option: If you don’t eat bacon, you can sauté a sliced onion and add some minced beef. Sauté until cooked through and well-seasoned, then use this mixture as a filling for the pie.
• Customize with Additional Ingredients: Feel free to personalize this recipe by adding your favorite ingredients such as cheese, herbs, or vegetables to the filling mixture.

This Bacon & Egg Pie is a comforting and satisfying dish that’s perfect for any occasion, whether you’re hosting a weekend brunch with friends or looking for a filling breakfast option to start your day off right. Enjoy every flavorful bite of this classic dish! 🍽️🥓🍳
