Expert Tips for Making Egg and Bacon Impossible Pie\ Crustless Quiche
- If you are running short of time, you can add the bacon and onion pieces uncooked, however cooking them does help to give the pie more flavour.
- It is important to coat the bacon, onion and cheese with the self-raising flour as this is what helps the ingredients to not fall to the bottom of the pie dish.
- I used 700 gram eggs, if your eggs are on the smaller side I suggest using five.
- You can cook this pie in a pie maker.
- If you have any leftover, this recipe can be frozen for up to three months.

Hi, I would love to try this recipe. Would it work with G-F flour and half a teaspoon baking powder —- instead of the S-R flour?

Hello, yes it sure does work x

I found this recipe today and I thought my husband would like it. I added some chopped roasted hatch chile peppers and some roasted garlic to it. I also had some dehydrated kale flakes and I added some of that to the egg mixture (got a little extra veggies in this recipe). To be safe, I added an extra 2 tablespoons of flour since I added the extra chile and garlic. I cooked it at 350 degrees for 55 minutes. Next time, I will cook it at 400 degrees.
The verdict: It was awesome! It has already been requested to be made again.
