Bacon and egg pie

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The bacon and egg pie contains bacon, egg and often onion. It can be eaten hot or cold.

Some versions have a raising agent such as baking powder mixed into the egg to make a fluffier filling.

The pie is often constructed with a shortcrust or other mechanically stable base crust and a flaky pastry top.

A bacon and egg pie differs from a quiche in a number of ways, most notably the absence of dairy products (cheese and milk) and the presence of an upper crust. The pie also tends to have a heavier texture and feel, and is generally high in calories.
