EGG PIE RECIPE

Steps:

• Place flour in large bowl. Cut in cream cheese and butter with pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Shape dough into ball; flatten into disk. Wrap tightly with plastic wrap.
• Refrigerate 1 hour.
• Heat oven to 425°F.

Flip pie plate, holding pie plate and dough together. Discard second sheet of waxed paper. Gently press dough onto bottom and up side of pie plate; flute edge. Press double thickness of foil gently onto bottom and up side of crust, extending ends of foil over edge to prevent it from becoming too brown.
• Bake 10 min. Carefully remove foil. Bake crust additional 2 to 3 min. or until lightly browned. Transfer crust from oven to wire rack. Reduce oven temperature to 400°F.

BIG BACON & EGG PIE

Steps:

• To make the filling, heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan. Add the bacon, turn the heat to low and gently cook to melt out some of the fat, then turn up the heat to brown a little. Remove with a slotted spoon to a plate and set aside. Add the onions and mace to the pan, and gently cook until softened. Set aside to cool.
• Line the base of a 20 x 30cm tin with baking parchment, then add 3 long, thick strips to run across the tin, with overhang to help you lift out the pie. Roll out 750g of the pastry on a lightly floured surface until it's big enough to line the base and sides of the tin.
• Put a baking sheet in the oven and heat to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Spread the onions onto the base of the pie. Open out each pepper like a book, scrape out any seeds, then layer over the onions to cover. Scatter over the bacon, followed by the parsley. Evenly crack over the eggs, and season all over.
• Roll out the remaining pastry to cover, pinch and trim the edges to seal, and brush with beaten egg. Scatter with sesame seeds. Sit on top of the baking sheet and bake for 30-40 mins until golden and crisp. Cool at room temperature, then store in the fridge for up to a day. Bring just back to room temp before serving in squares.

SCOTCH EGG PIE

Steps:

• Put 6 of the eggs in a large pan of cold water. Bring to the boil, then remove from the heat. Leave for 5 mins, then lift out eggs and cool under cold running water. Peel.
• Snip the ends of the sausages and squeeze the meat out into a mixing bowl. Add the mace, thyme, 75g of the breadcrumbs, 1 egg and some ground pepper, and mix together well - you'll probably need to get your hands in.
• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Criss-cross 2 long strips of baking parchment in a 20cm pie tin or round cake tin (to help you lift out the pie). Roll out half the pastry on a lightly floured surface to line the tin. Scatter remaining breadcrumbs over the base of the pastry, then pat in about a quarter of the sausage mixture. Evenly space the peeled eggs on top, then gently pack the meat around and over - trying to evenly cover the eggs without leaving any gaps.
• Roll out remaining pastry, cover the pie, then trim the edges. Pinch and crimp edges to seal, poke a steam hole in the top, then glaze with the final egg, lightly beaten with a fork. Scatter with the sesame seeds, then bake for 30 mins.
• Remove the pie from the oven and carefully remove it from the tin. Place on a baking tray and return to the oven for 10 mins to brown the sides of the pie. Transfer to a wire rack to cool, then serve in chunky wedges.
