That's OK BFLF being off topic as long as you put egg in your fried rice

It's all food related and I like food. How did you prepare the prawns?

Sounds delicious BFLF. Here is a quick and easy bacon and egg pie recipe that is perfect cold and uses a dozen eggs!

Bacon and Egg Pie

Serves 6

Ingredients:
225g plain flour
265g self-raising flour
220g butter, chopped
125ml iced water
Olive oil spray
450g middle cut bacon rashers, excess fat trimmed
12 eggs
70g finely chopped sundried tomatoes
125ml thickened cream
1 egg yolk
1 1/2 tbs water

Method:

Process half the plain flour, half the self-raising flour and half the butter in a food processor until mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Add half the iced water and process until the mixture just starts to form small clumps. Turn onto a lightly floured surface. Repeat with the remaining plain flour, self-raising flour, butter and iced water, adding a little more iced water if necessary. Bring the mixtures together and knead until smooth then shape into a disc. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for 1 hour to rest.

Preheat oven to 180°C. Spray a 7cm-deep, 26 x 17cm baking dish with olive oil. Divide dough into 2 portions, making one portion slightly larger. Roll large portion out on a lightly floured surface to a rectangle large enough to line the base and sides of the dish. Line dish with pastry.

Coarsely chop the bacon. Top the pastry with half the bacon. Crack 6 of the eggs over bacon. Top eggs with remaining bacon. Crack remaining eggs over the bacon. Season with pepper. Top with tomato. Drizzle over cream.
Roll out the remaining dough portion on a lightly floured surface to a rectangle large enough to cover the filling. Place pastry over the filling. Trim the edges. Pinch to seal. Combine egg yolk and water in a bowl. Brush pie with egg yolk mixture. Cut a few small slits in the top of pastry. Bake for 50 minutes or until golden and crisp.

Can be eaten cold.
