    My mum made egg & bacon pie all the time when we were kids, She didn't put cream in it, maybe a little milk and the eggs were just lightly beaten and poured over pre-fried bacon (which gave it more flavour). Sometimes it was made as a tart with no lid, it was more robust and less quiche-like than the one you made, although yours looks great. It was usually served cold, sometimes with salad but often with hot boiled potatoes! I imagine we had it at least a couple of times a month. Its one of those dishes that always brings back memories when I encounter it now I'm old and creaky!

    In new Zealand they do add ingegdients like that, first recorded recipe was in the 15th century and comes from the region of uk I'm from Cornwall, the maid difference from this pie and quiche the quiche uses milk cream and beaten eggs the pie should only consist of whole eggs either left in or placed in then pop the yolk znd then add your lid. You can tell by the pie where its come from North Cornwall add parsley and South Cornwall leave it out Personally I live it out because it resembles mould when it's through the egg whites

    I don't know how or why you popped up in my feed Mr Keep but I love that you did.
    I'm first born Australian of Italian Dad so we cook, everything. LOL!
    And I love seeing all versions of the same-same thing. I usually add crumbled feta n if I'm making a vegetarian version, (for our one lonesome vego in the family 😆), I skip the bacon n add finely chopped spinach. And of course lots o' parmesan cheese then no pastry lid. But if it's to be eaten cold then yes a pastry lid to help keep it moist.
    Cheers from Surfcoast Victoria, Australia. 😁🙏💙🦘

    Cooking bacon is the ends of the side of bacon . The water in bacon is due to the wet brining method and they use a liquid smoke the nitrate is for keeping the bacon pink plus it bulks the bacon giving the impression its bigger then it actually is, that's why it shrinks back to the original size of the slab

    • @Rincenso
      @Rincenso Рік тому

      The same goes for most "salted" meat. The modern mouth would spit out salted meat from before refrigeration became common.
      The average man in Stockholm in the 1800s drank about 8 liters of beer a day, usually the strong stuff, to compensate for all the salt in the meat.
      Mind you, a lot of companies these days cheat with the cheap meat and have more water than necessary in it to raise the weight and with that the margins...

    Ideal. Thank you Keef. I dunno if it's a Cornish thing or no but, oftentimes, in this neck of the woods it's generally just bacon with whole eggs cracked in. I think it's a big thing in Australia / New Zealand. Maybe because their ancestors did it? Similar to pasties I suppose, whack everything in raw and 'crack' on with it. PS, sage, of all things, takes it to the next level.

    Oh, I love an egg and bacon pie! I’ve always made them with only a bottom crust in the past, more like a quiche. But since watching your channel and learning how to make various types of crust, I’ve become a total 2 crust pie lover! Last winter I made ham and egg pie a couple of times and made it like you did this one - with booth the whole and blended eggs. These were inspired by “All Creatures Great and Small” as ham and egg pie kept coming up in the series (and I can’t remember now if it was in the show or the books as I was rereading the books at the time). Anyways, thanks for another great video and meal idea. That lattice maker works pretty slick. While I would love one, right now I'm hoping to buy that nice meat thermometer you used a little while back when I get a little spare coin 😌

      @@petethebastard Yay! for All Creatures Great & Small fans! I grew up on the books and the original TV series and love them both. Still enjoy rereading and re watching rom time to time. I do think that the ham and egg pie references may have been from the current TV series. Mrs. Hall doesn’t make much of an appearance in the books, if at all, come to think of it. The current series is wonderful IMO and well worth the watch! The casting, locations, authenticity etc. are very well done.

    As for the bacon in the microwave, I often do that if I fancy a quick bacon sandwich, and don't fancy dirtying a pan. Whilst I prefer a bit of colour and crispness to the bacon, I can still eat it in a sandwich straight from the microwave 😅

      Not really. I don't think. First off, the feeling is disrupted with the whole eggs. Secondly, I don't think that he put any cheese in this. Based on the looks though, the the eggy parts look very quiche-like. I think the only responsible thing to do is to try each of them side by side. I look forward to your report! 😁😎

    Mr Keef, is the Stockwell, AKA Tesco Value Flour just as good as a brand name? If so it saves a lot of money. P.S. If you look at the ingredients of the cooking Bacon you will find that they are exactly the same as the regular bacon you will buy, 86% Pork, plus the usual additives, it is cheap because it is offcuts and not neat rashers, but as you have shown it is perfectly good for cooking. P.P.S. Creme Fraiche would give a more savoury flavour, the same as in a quiche, but might not be to most UK peoples taste.

    • @Keefcooks

    Normally there's no custard added like you did, the reason being iscthe result you had. There's enough moisture in the egg and bacon itself, you could of cooked it 10 mins longer to cook the bottom out. It still looked really raw. But that does look like some awesome short crust pastry.
