I'll ignore the sarcasm. There is nothing wrong with a traditional recipe for bacon and egg pie. Same as there is nothing wrong with a different 'egg' pie that incorporates many other ingredients. When I was a vegetarian I made lots of different quiche type pies using many different ingredients, including pulses - no two the same. There was a vegetable slice thread in here a while back which was pretty yum as well and probably is a better name for what I used to make.

The humble bacon and egg pie is blameless.

I detest cheese in meat pies but I don't come on here abusing people who do like it. So why should I take abuse for liking mixed veges in my B&E pie?

I like plain just, egg and bacon pie and also I like a tasty cheese and onion pie. Very nice hot and cold.

Perhaps it depends on the % of each filling. more bacon = B & E, more egg = E & B.

Look up Dean Brettschneider's (sp) recipe. Bacon, Curried Egg and Ricotta Pie. It is too die for. 100% an "occasion" pie but definitely worth the effort.

Depends on which school you went to. Always matters in Chch.

I make it the traditional way. I don't jazz it up. That was, of course when I used to make things like that. Now, sticking good food between two pieces of pastry is not really my scene but if I do I always make my own pastry. Flakey/puff, short and 'pastries' pastry are all relatively simple to make once the butter is 'beaten into submission'. And just to add insult to my injury (not you) I actually enjoy making flakey/puff and 'pastries' pastry. Alas I don't get to do it very often anymore, if ever. It is the same as I enjoy making bread by hand and all that boring old kneading and stuff.
Just a short note here. When I make croissants, etc, I stick to the original template as well.
BUT, I have been reading the custard square thread and someone gave a link to a Portugese (or was it Spanish) style custard square and I suddenly realised it was a chocolate eclair in disguise. Why go to the bother of fiddling around with individual eclairs when I can make it into something that can be sliced and eaten with fingers, much more easily. It was also filled a mix of both cream and custard. Oh heaven. No longer do I need to choose and I can ice it with chocolate icing. This is a novel, if somewhat eccentric idea that I am more than happy to run with when I make birthday treats for myself and family or have guests.

For the most part it's just been a fun thread, with some tongue-in-cheek comments. : )

Oh I knew that. Nothing to do with your comment. Just a general observation that the thread, incl my original post, has been lighthearted.

In the end, does it really matter? The OP asked how to 'jazz up' a bacon & egg pie & there's been heaps of lovely sounding suggestions & who cares what it's called as long as the pie (with the base filling of B & E) is delicious?
