Skiwi Bacon & Egg Pie
This is a recipe I came up with using Scotch pie cases from the DIY Scotch Pie Company for BBC Radio Scotland’s The Kitchen Cafe.
We took the classic Kiwi style bacon & egg pie, giving them a Scottish twist by baking them in DIY Scotch pie bases with the end product being a Skiwi (Scottish-Kiwi) bacon & egg pie!
Makes: 12 Pies
Ingredients
- 12 DIY Scotch Pie pastry bases
- 6 smoked bacon rashers – remove rind & rough dice
- 1 red pepper – deseeded & roughly diced
- ¾ bunch spring onions – sliced into rounds
- 12 cherry tomatoes – chopped into ¼
- 140g garden peas – (frozen are fine)
- Handful coriander – remove stalks & chop
- Handful parsley – remove stalks & chop
- 100g smoked cheddar – grated
- 8 eggs – (medium free range)
- 280ml double cream
- Salt & pepper


Method
- Preheat oven to 180°C or 160°C fan bake.
- Place the bases onto a baking tray.
- In a bowl mix the bacon, red pepper, spring onion, cherry tomato, peas, coriander, parsley & smoked cheddar.
- Evenly place filling into the bases.
- Crack the eggs into the (now) empty bowl & add the double cream, pop in a wee pinch of salt & a good grind of black pepper. Whisk the egg mix, then slowly & evenly drizzle the egg mix over the filling & let it slowly soak through.
- Put in the oven & bake pies for 25- 30 minutes eat hot or cold.
KJ's Tips
- These make an amazing addition to a picnic or packed lunch cold.
- The DIY company do veggie pie cases so if you want to go veggie hold off on the bacon & add some leek or sweet potato instead.
Storage
- These will keep for up to 4 days in the fridge once cold.
