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.

I’m elderly and don’t enjoy cooking, this is great, hot, warm or cold. Thankyou
Sharon
I thought that the recipe had too much milk as mine was still jiggly after 55 mins…..not happy.
Lauren Matheson
Hi Sharon, sorry to hear it didn’t work out. If you mixture was still ‘jiggly’ after 55 minutes I would be inclined to think your oven temperature may not be correct.
Bree
I love the recipe! I adjust the method a bit but so good, we also double mix because we eat a lot in this family! Thanks!

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?
Lauren Matheson
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.

Hi Rochelle, Thanks so much for your feedback – I love the additions that you made!
