This Ultimate Bacon & Egg Pie is a classic, hearty dish perfect for any meal of the day. With flaky puff pastry wrapped around crispy bacon and whole eggs, this savory pie is simple, satisfying, and full of rich flavor. No pre-cooking required—just layer, bake, and enjoy. It’s great for meal prep, picnics, or a quick and easy weeknight dinner. Serve it warm or at room temperature with a fresh salad or a side of tomato chutney.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 sheets puff pastry (store-bought or homemade)
  • 8 large eggs
  • 6–8 slices streaky bacon
  • 1/4 cup milk or cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 egg (for egg wash, optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven & Prep Pastry: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a pie dish with one sheet of puff pastry, pressing it gently into the corners. Trim excess if needed.
  2. Layer the Bacon: Arrange bacon slices evenly over the pastry base, covering it completely.
  3. Add the Eggs: Carefully crack whole eggs over the bacon, spacing them evenly. Avoid breaking the yolks for a traditional look.
  4. Season & Add Cream: Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Drizzle milk or cream over the top for extra richness.
  5. Top with Pastry & Seal: Place the second sheet of puff pastry over the top, pressing the edges to seal. Crimp with a fork and cut a few small slits in the top to allow steam to escape.
  6. Apply Egg Wash (Optional): Lightly beat an egg and brush it over the pastry for a golden finish.
  7. Bake: Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and crispy.
  8. Cool & Serve: Let the pie rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Use pre-cooked bacon if you prefer it crispy inside the pie.
  • For extra flavor, add shredded cheese or sautéed onions.
  • Letting the pie rest before slicing helps the eggs set properly.
