Notes
- 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.
- This recipe can be frozen for up to three months.
