A
bacon & egg pie is a Kiwi
classic dish – along with Pavlova and Cheese Rolls.
As
you know I'm not a baker but even I can manage a reasonable bacon & egg
pie.
I
used bought frozen puff pastry. After giving
the dish a bit of a grease up I put the pastry in and lined it as soon as it
became pliable.
You
put in half the bacon as a first layer and then put in a cup of frozen peas and
crack a dozen eggs into the dish. As you
can see I left most of them whole but did swirl a fork through one or two of
them. Reserve one egg yolk out of the
eggs to glaze the pastry.
Then
season with salt and pepper and add the layer of bacon (rind off).
Put
the pastry lid on top with a little art work if you fancy – as you can see mine
was pretty basic.
Chill
in the fridge for 30 minutes. Then glaze
the top with the egg yolk (having whisked it up a bit).
That's lovely. I really like how the egg yolk glaze gave such a beautiful color to the top of the crust. I don't recall this dish from my trip to NZ in the mid 1980s, but I had Pavlova!
ReplyDeleteWow!!! That looks soooooo pretty. I've made pavlova but not this. It looks comforting and easy.
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of this, or at least not the New Zealand version. Sounds yummy!
ReplyDeleteCarol, I think this looks incredible. And easy. I must try. Pinned.
ReplyDeleteOh boy, this looks delicious.
ReplyDeleteYour bacon and egg pie looks wonderful, Carole. No Kiwi picnic would be complete without it, would it?!
ReplyDeleteHi Carole, very interesting recipe, it look really delicious. Thanks for sharing the wonderful recipe.
ReplyDeleteBest regards.
Very different! I might have to try this. Your bacon looks like ham slices over here in the States though. Any thoughts on that?
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool idea. I have not seen a recipe like this. Gotta try it!
ReplyDeleteI've never seen anything like that… it looks both beautiful and delicious!
ReplyDeletewow! looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteG'day! Looks lovely, true!
ReplyDeleteIcould go or some of his right now too!
Cheers! Joanne

ReplyDeleteLove it! :) I tried making a bacon & egg pie over the summer from a recipe from UK supermarket's magazine & it didn't really work out too well! :( I like the look of yours, though!

ReplyDeleteThis looks like my kind of pie, it looks so tasty!! Our bacon doesn't look like that, but I am sure that I can come up with a substitute. :)
ReplyDeleteI could eat the whole thing to myself. My kinda pie.
ReplyDeleteI can see how you could really fancy up the crust if you wanted. Sounds delicious!
ReplyDeleteI've heard of this as a southern hemisphere speciality and really must try making it. It sounds delicious.
ReplyDeleteI'm not a baker either, but I loved how easy puffed pastry is to work with. Will have to try this pie.
ReplyDeleteInteresting pie. Bookmarking the recipe.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting pie.
ReplyDeleteThis looks gorgeous Carole, I love how you've kept the yolks whole, makes for a very pretty slice.
