How to Make Australian Bacon And Egg Pie
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare the pastry: In a large bowl, combine 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tsp salt, and 1 cup cold shortening. Cut the shortening into the flour mixture using a pastry blender or your fingertips until it resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add 1/2 cup ice water, mixing until the dough just comes together. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill for at least 30 minutes.
- Cook the bacon: In a large skillet, cook 6 slices of bacon until crispy. Remove the bacon and set aside, reserving 2 tablespoons of bacon grease.
- Sauté the onion and peppers: Add 1/2 cup chopped onion and 1/2 cup chopped bell peppers to the skillet and sauté until softened (about 5 minutes).
- Whisk the eggs: In a bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs, 1/4 cup milk, salt and pepper to taste.
- Assemble the pie: On a lightly floured surface, roll out half of the chilled pastry dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer the dough to a 9-inch pie plate.
- Add the filling: Pour the sautéed vegetables into the pie crust. Top with the cooked bacon and then pour over the egg mixture.
- Top with the remaining pastry: Roll out the remaining pastry dough and place it over the filling. Crimp the edges to seal. Cut slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
- Bake the pie: Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set.
- Let cool: Let the pie cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
