I have a small confession to make - this is not actually from a book I own - I found the recipe in the paper a couple of weeks ago - it's an extract from a new book which is called Recipes My Mother Cooked.
I thought it sounded easy and yum. And I had a friend coming over for lunch, and I happened to have a couple of sheets of puff pastry in the freezer, so the ideal time to make it!
Egg and Bacon Pie:
(Check out the puffiness of that puff pastry!) It was delicious! I downsized the recipe - which uses 10 eggs (plus one for the pastry glue!), because I don't have a pie dish big enough to hold a 10 egg pie! But it was still plenty for 6 servings, which meant leftovers the next day! Woo hoo!
Very very easy to make as well. And could easily be tarted up with the addition of other ingredients too I think. Peas or corn, capsicum, maybe tomato, perhaps some grated cheese.
And can be eaten hot or cold. Very versatile!

Oh yum! It looks like the perfect easy and delicious recipe.
Oh goddamn that looks good, I love a good pie! That looks like a keeper.
god i love an egg and bacon pie. And I know a certain someone i live with loves them even more. Right, that's it. I'm going to make one!
Oh yum, that pie is as high as an elephant's eye!! Autumnal food is the best!!
I love egg and bacon pie. I make mine as "impossible pie" - no pastry! MIL makes hers with shortcrust pastry and it's delicious. I have yet to try one with puff pastry.
I love Bacon and Egg Pie! We had it a lot growing up. And that is some impressive sky high pastry you have there!
It's a quiche with a crust! And made with puff pastry. My mom makes something like this, with a normal pie crust. Eggs, milk, cheese, and then whatever filling she feels like. Sometimes chopped shrimp, spinach, ham... We fill them with all kinds of things.
That could be a great savory for the ladies' tea. Great idea!
Ohh Ms rosered what have you done??
Here I am 11.30pm & I should be in bed but no not I as I've decided to look at some blogs. So here I am & after seeing this delicious scrumptous pie I'm now thinking more about a midnight feast as this looks mighty fine right now!!
Please invite me over next time you make this ;D

Wow. Now I'm hungry. Mmmm, bacon!
Yum. Yum. I love how you can eat it for any meal of the day.
Looks so yummy. I love pies but unfortunately I am currently on a gluten free diet.
That looks delicious!
Oh yum! I can;t remember the last time I had this - used to be a firm favourite.
Also well done on some lovely purchases and a great BSJ :o)
