LOL, so love the bacon and egg pie debate!To me it's flakey pastry. bacon, then eggs to cover (yolks not broken) a bit more bacon, salt and pepper the cover with pastry :-).Add veg. it's bacon and egg and vege pie! When I'm making a really big one (for catering) I will beat some extra eggs with a splash of milk per egg and tip over the above.It puffs up a bit more to fill my roasting dish. Don't forget a few holes in top of pastry. Haven't had green eggs sorry. .

mine is just bought flakey pastry, bacon, then UNBROKEN eggs on top, cover with another layer of pastry ( I sometimes add chopped parsley too). Question though, I always end up with having to spend ages trying to get baked on egg off the metal slice dish I use to cook the pie in, Despite linng the base some always seems to leak out and it sets like hard glue! Any suggestions on how to avoid this, or how to remove it! soaking doesnt help much.

Another vote for flaky pastry and UNBROKEN eggs from me too :)

I use a mixture of broken and unbroken eggs- and do the cheese and tomato on top but criss cross strips of pastry on top.

Short pastry, whole eggs, bacon, finely chopped onion, no peas, no cheese. Must be a metal tin to carry the heat to the bottom.

Definitely peas. No mixed veg in mine please! Just goes to show his many variations a standard type recipe can have, and they're all delish :)

At the bakery I do plain pastry on the bottom, then cheese bacon unbroken eggs and a dollop of milk for extra moisture and then flakey pastry over egg wash bake 45min at 180 (commercial oven and I do batches of a dozen pies so cooking time may vary at home).
At home I add suteed onion tomato slices and chilli also canned smoked oysters for that extra pizzaz (don't knock it until you try it) :)

The best Pastry now to get is the frozen squares of Savory Puff Pastry especially for these pies, it is awesome crunchy and doesnt have crumbs everywhere. I break a few of my eggs once in the pie and then leave some unbroken, and then use the Ryans bacon and plenty of filling, I prick the bottom of the pastry and the lid and brush the top with a little milk, and its yum.

this is my recipe and it is really good.put pastry in metal tin, i use similar to a roasting dish but smaller.Prick the pastry on the bottom, this stops it going soggy,I use aroud 15 or 16 eggs, free range,grab a fork and break yokes up and mix with the whites, put bacon on top, i use streaky bacon,then a layer of tomato and light sprinkle of cheese then s and p.put top pastry on poke some slots in top to let steam out.Bake at 160 approx 35 mins. easy and very yummy.

Iman007 thats not a bacon and egg pie thats a quiche. lay pastry down place raw bacon as much as you like break ten eggs over the top Do not wisk them. salt pepper place lid on top prick three times or even score it. egg wash bake 20 to 45 mins at 170 and thats a bacon and egg pie

Sorry sean a quiche does not have a top, and uses milk and or cream.Personally I would never eat bacon and egg pie where the eggs were left unbroken.
I use flaky pastry sheets from the supermarket.For my tin (about 8 inches square and 1/2 inches deep) I use one sheet which I have to roll out a little to fit.Prick it and sprinkle some grated cheese over the bottom which helps stop the pastry going soggy.About 1/2 dozen strips of streaky bacon chopped up sprinkled over this, then about 6 eggs broken up (not really whisked, just roughly mixed) and pepper added -- the bacon has enough saltAnother sheet of pasty on top and edges well sealed.A few small slashes in the top.Brush with milk and bake 20 minutes at 180C

Buy a block of flakey pastry from supermarket and thaw Preheat oven to 200 degrees C or 400F cut 1/3 for top and 3/4 for bottom Roll out bottom and line cake tin, use flour when rolling to stop from sticking. Add chopped bacon, however much you like Add 5 or 6 eggs, prick each yolk Add a handful of frozen mixed veges Sprinkle with salt and pepper and 1/2 grated raw onion Cover with rest of rolled out pastry, prick with fork and brush with milk Bake 30 to 40 mins till golden brown. Very easy and very yummy even when cold. Good Luck

this is pretty well what I do as well- made one yesterday in fact- except I put half the eggs in and break the yolk; the rest of the eggs I beat with a little milk and pour in. Leftovers great for lunches too.
