Mini Bacon & Egg Pies
Preparation time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: 20 minutes
Makes 12 little pies
-
12 slices bread (white or wholemeal is fine)
-
150g/5 ozs bacon
-
12 eggs
-
50g/1.7 ozs butter, melted
-
50g/1.7ozs cheese, grated
-
Parsley (optional) and freshly ground black pepper
You will also need a cupcake tray, a rolling pin and a large round cutter-I used a 8.5cm/3.5inch cutter
Step 1 - Preheat oven to 170C/340F. Cook the bacon in a frypan or in a microwave (wrapped in paper towels if you do the latter). Cool and break up into little pieces.
Step 2 - With the cutter, cut out the bread and flatten to about half the thickness with the rolling pin. Butter on both sides with a brush and place in the cupcake cavities. Fill with the cheese, bacon and then break an egg in each one. Bake for 15-20 minutes and top with a little parsley and some pepper.
