SPICY BACON-AND-EGG PIE



Spicy Bacon-and-Egg Pie image

Bacon-and-egg pie is a rustic specialty from New Zealand, here zipped up with a mixture of sriracha and cream. Made from whole eggs that hard-cook under a pastry crust lid, with fat chunks of bacon, it is closer in feeling to steak-and-kidney pie, that sturdy pub staple, than to quiche. It is terrific picnic fare.

Time 1h30m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
2 sticks (8 ounces) unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
6 ounces Canadian bacon, diced
2 scallions, white and greens parts, thinly sliced
9 large eggs
Kosher salt, as needed
Cracked black pepper, as needed
6 tablespoons heavy cream
1 1/2 tablespoons Sriracha or other hot sauce
1 1/2 tablespoons ketchup

Steps:

  • In the bowl of a food processor fitted with the blade attachment, pulse together flour and salt until combined. Add butter and pulse until pieces are the size of lima beans. Add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, just until dough comes together (anywhere from 4 to 8 tablespoons). There should still be flecks of butter left in the dough. Shape dough into two evenly sized discs and wrap with plastic wrap. Refrigerate at least one hour before baking. (Dough can be made up to 1 week ahead.)
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll out one disc to a 12-inch circle. (Leave the other disc in the fridge.) Transfer rolled dough to a 9-inch pie plate; trim and crimp edges. Chill for 30 minutes.
  • Heat oven to 375 degrees. Prick bottom of pie with a fork. Line with foil or parchment paper and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake for 20 minutes. Remove foil or paper and pie weights or beans. Bake until pale golden and dry to the touch, about 5 to 7 minutes more.
  • Increase oven temperature to 400 degrees. Evenly scatter half of the bacon and half of the scallions on bottom of pie. Carefully crack 8 eggs over mixture, distributing them evenly around pie with their yolks intact. Season eggs generously with salt and pepper. Whisk together 5 tablespoons heavy cream with Sriracha and ketchup. Use a teaspoon to dollop it on top of the eggs and then sprinkle with remaining bacon and scallion.
  • Lightly flour the counter. Roll out remaining disc of pie dough until 1/8-inch thick (it should be thinner than the previous dough round). Trim into 10-inch circle. Carefully place on top of the pie, pressing the edges into the side of the pie, if possible. There should be no overhang and the dough should fit almost perfectly. Use a fork to whisk together yolk from remaining egg and 1 tablespoon heavy cream. Brush top of pie with egg wash and cut 4 shallow slits in the middle of the top crust (don't go deep, you don't want to puncture the eggs). Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until pastry is golden brown. Let cool for at least 20 minutes for serving.

BACON & EGG PIES

Individual shortcrust pastries that fall somewhere between a Scotch egg and a Gala pie - super for a summer spread

Provided by Sarah Cook

Categories     Afternoon tea, Starter

Time 1h20m

Yield Makes 12

Number Of Ingredients 11

little oil , for the tin
500g pack all-butter shortcrust pastry
little flour , for dusting
good knob of butter
1 small onion , finely chopped
8 rashers back bacon , trimmed of any fat and diced
½ tsp ground mace
2 large eggs
2 tbsp crème fraîche
12 quail eggs
few pinches poppy seeds

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Grease each hole of a 12-hole muffin tin, then line each with a long strip of baking parchment. Roll out two-thirds of the pastry on a lightly floured surface and stamp out 12 x 10-11cm circles (you may need to re-roll trimmings). Press a circle into each hole to line. Wrap the remaining pastry in cling film.
  • Melt the butter in a frying pan and fry the onion and bacon until the onion is softened and the bacon crisping and browning. Stir in the mace for 1 min, then transfer to a bowl to cool for 5 mins. Stir in 1 egg and the crème fraîche with plenty of seasoning. Divide mixture between the holes and press down firmly with the back of a spoon to make a dip in the middle. Crack 1 quail's egg into each hole, then season lightly. Beat the remaining egg, then brush over the edges of the pastry.
  • Roll out the remaining pastry and stamp out 12 x 6-7cm circles. Add a top to each pie, carefully pressing pastry edges together to seal - don't let the egg escape. Brush with remaining egg and sprinkle with poppy seeds. Bake for 25-30 mins until golden. Cool in the tin, then carefully lift out using the parchment strips to help.

EGG AND BACON PIE



Egg and Bacon Pie image

Provided by Nancy Harmon Jenkins

Categories     side dish

Time 1h20m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

Pastry for a 1-crust pie
1/2 pound slab bacon, diced
8 eggs, beaten
2 cups light cream
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Roll out pie crust and line a 9-inch pie plate. Prick the pastry with a fork at 2-inch intervals. Line pastry with aluminum foil and fill with rice or beans to weight. Place in oven and bake 15 to 20 minutes, or until pastry starts to brown.
  • Remove from oven. Remove aluminum foil and discard beans. Distribute bacon over bottom of pastry crust.
  • Combine all other ingredients except butter, mix well and pour over bacon. Dot with butter. Return to oven and bake 35 to 40 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from oven and set aside to cool to room temperature before serving.

Tips:

  • For a crispier crust, pre-bake the pie crust for 10 minutes before filling it.
  • Use high-quality bacon for the best flavor. Thick-cut bacon is recommended.
  • Cook the bacon until it is crispy, but not overcooked. Overcooked bacon will be tough and chewy.
  • Use fresh eggs for the best flavor and texture.
  • Season the egg mixture with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Add your favorite cheese to the egg mixture for extra flavor. Cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan are all good choices.
  • Bake the pie until the crust is golden brown and the eggs are set. This will take about 30-35 minutes.
  • Let the pie cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Conclusion:

This spicy bacon and egg pie is a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch dish. It's perfect for a crowd, and it can be made ahead of time. The pie is also a great way to use up leftover bacon and eggs. So next time you're looking for a quick and satisfying meal, give this spicy bacon and egg pie a try.
