Cheese, Egg & Bacon Pie is a perfect blend of savory flavors enshrined in the flaky goodness of puff pastry. This easy-to-bake pie is ideal for breakfast, brunch, or even a cozy dinner, and brings together classic ingredients like creamy sour cream, rich cheddar cheese, and smoky bacon for a delightful culinary experience.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Bacon: Cook the bacon strips in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Drain on paper towels, then chop into small pieces.
- Cheese: Grate the cheddar cheese if it’s not pre-grated.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, grated cheddar cheese, chopped bacon, and chopped fresh thyme. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Roll out both sheets of puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Line a pie dish with one of the puff pastry sheets, ensuring it covers the bottom and sides. Trim any excess.
- Pour the sour cream mixture into the pastry-lined pie dish and spread it out evenly.
- Crack the egg into a small bowl and beat it lightly. Brush the edges of the puff pastry with the beaten egg to help seal the pie.
- Place the second sheet of puff pastry over the filling. Press the edges to seal, and trim any excess pastry. Use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative finish if desired.
- Brush the top of the pastry with the remaining beaten egg for a golden finish.
- Using a small knife, cut a few slits on the top of the pie to allow steam to escape.
- Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.
- Allow the pie to cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm.
Tips:
- Ensure the puff pastry is thawed but still cold before you start working with it to avoid it becoming sticky.
- Cook the bacon strips until they are crispy. This will add a delightful texture to your pie.
- Use freshly grated cheddar cheese for a more intense flavor compared to pre-shredded varieties.
- Beat the egg lightly before adding it to the mix to ensure even distribution.
- Use fresh thyme for a more aromatic and authentic flavor.
With its golden crust and mouth-watering filling, the Cheese, Egg & Bacon Pie is as visually impressive as it is delicious. Whether served warm or at room temperature, this pie is sure to become a favorite in your recipe collection, offering a hearty and satisfying meal every time.
