Recipe Introduction


This is a simple lattice style pie that is meant to be eaten on picnics - but which is lovely for tea too! It is usually eaten cold.


List of Ingredients




12 oz of ready made short crust pastry
3 hard boiled eggs
8 rashers of grilled bacon
8 oz sausage meat
1 beaten egg
5 fl oz milk
black pepper and salt to taste

Recipe



1. Pre-heat the oven to gas mark 6, 200'C / 400'F
2. Cut of piece of pastry about 2/3rds of the amount. Roll it out on a floured surface and when thin, line a pie dish or oven proof deep plate with it.
3. Slice up the boiled eggs. Chop up the bacon into small pieces. Pull the sausage meat into small pieces and mix the eggs and meat together in a bowl.
4. Beat an egg with the milk and then pour this mixture over the meat/boiled egg mixture in the bowl.
5. Season with salt and pepper (to taste) then place the mixture onto the pastry covering the base and sides of the pie dish / deep plate.
6. Roll out the remaining 1/3rd of the pastry and cut it into long thin strips about ½ inch wide. Lay these strips across the top of the pie filling to make a 'Criss Cross' or lattice pattern. Seal the ends of the strips to the edges of the pie sides with a little water or egg.
7. Bake in the centre of the pre-heated oven for 10 minutes.
8. After 10 minutes, leave the pie in the oven, but turn the heat down to gas mark 4, 180'C / 350'F for another 25 to 30 minutes.
9. Allow to cool and serve cold.

This is delicious with most pickles and works very well with a salad.
