This bacon and egg pan pie features bacon and eggs, cooked together in puff pastry crust. Cooks up perfectly in a cast iron skillet.

Bacon and eggs were meant to be together and there’s no better way to bring them together than in a puff-pastry crust and cooked in a skillet. In my opinion, anyway :)

This classic bacon and egg pie is borrowed from the Australians, where it is a comfort food favourite. Starting with store-bought puff-pastry makes it easy enough for every day, whether for breakfast, brunch or dinner.

Ingredients and Substitutions

Puff Pastry – pre-rolled, store-bought puff pastry is a delicious and super easy topping for this pie. Of course, you could certainly make your own shortcrust pastry for topping, as well.

Pick your Pan

I’ve used a cast iron skillet here, that is 8″ diameter across the bottom and 10″ diameter across the top. Any oven-safe baking pan in the 9″ round size, either a cake pan or a pie pan will work fine.

Recipe Tips

Feel free to add some herbs to your pie. Or tomatoes. Or spinach. Or cheese. As you like.

If there’s a special something you always eat with your bacon and eggs, such as ketchup, HP/A1 Sauce, Sriracha etc., you could add some splashes over-top of the bacon layer, before adding the eggs.

Prep Time: 20 minutes

Total Time: 55 minutes
Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

  • 8 large eggs, plus 1 egg yolk, for brushing pastry before baking
  • 1/2 cup cooked, chopped bacon
  • 1 green onion, diced
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
  • 14 oz. store bought puff pastry

Instructions
 

  • Generously great a cast iron skillet or round baking pan (8-10 inches diameter or square) and pre-heat oven to 400 F.
  • On a floured surface, roll out 2/3 of the puff pastry into a round or square big enough to cover the bottom of your skillet/pan and to come about 3/4 of the way up the sides.
  • Scatter green onion over the bottom of the pastry and then scatter 1/2 of the cooked, diced bacon. Carefully break the 8 eggs on top, spacing them evenly around the outside and then one last one in the middle. Season generously with salt and pepper. then scatter on the remaining bacon.
  • Roll out the remaining 1/3 of the pastry to make a lid. Crimp the pastry edges together with a fork and trim off any excess. Use the trimmings to decorate the pie if you wish (attach them with a dab of egg wash). Cut four small vents in the pastry lid with a sharp knife.
  • Brush with beaten egg mix and bake 35 – 40 minutes until rich golden brown and crispy.
  • Serve warm, at room temperature or cold.
