About Bacon & Egg Pie
Kiwis for decades have tasted at least one version of bacon & egg pie. I still to this day I bake it as my mother did, open with no lid, baked in an enamel dish, where we have it hot one night and then cold the following day often in a school lunch. This is a versatile dish; the optional additions are peas, potatoes, tomatoes, cheese, onions and herbs. Bacon and egg pie is perfect for picnics.
