Hi everyone, Amanda from ‘Simple home cook’ back with another simple weeknight meal. This one is a bacon and egg pie. Of course it is simple (otherwise I wouldn’t be cooking it) and it is a huge hit with the kids. Even my fussy little eaters devoured a big piece for dinner. You will probably have all these ingredients already at home which makes it perfect to whip up anytime.
If you don’t have shortcrust pastry, you can substitute for puff pastry. It doesn’t work as good but still tastes great.
Enjoy!
