Egg & Bacon Pies
Recipe from The Circle (Channel Ten)
Guest: Anna Gare
Date: 09/09/2010
Ingredients:
Serves 4
½ cup melted butter
5 sheets filo pastry
¼ cup grated parmesan
2 tbsp chopped dill or basil
6 free-range eggs
1/3 cup of cream
Pinch of salt and pepper
8 thin rashes of bacon, rind removed
Method:
Preheat oven 180˚C.
Place a sheet of filo pastry on bench and with a pastry brush - lightly brush sheet with melted butter. Continue to layer with the rest of the sheets, making sure to brush butter between each layer.
Cut layered filo into 8 even squares and make 4 star shapes by doubling up the filo squares.
Lightly grease large muffin tins and line with pastry.
Sprinkle parmesan and dill on base of each pie.
In a small bowl mix 2 eggs with cream, salt and pepper.
Pour small amount of egg and cream mixture into each pie case.
Crack one egg in each pie.
Place bacon on top.
Bake 30 minutes in 180˚C oven until golden and set.
Hot Tip: The best filo pastry to buy is the Antoniou brand. This brand of filo has not been frozen. However if you buy the frozen variety make sure you thaw it slowly in the fridge over night.
