Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200℃ (390℉)

Step 2

Dice the bacon and onion. In a frying pan, melt the butter and cook the bacon and onion until golden. Set aside to cool.

Step 3

Line a pie dish with one sheet of puff pastry, trimming any excess.

Step 4

Scatter the cooked bacon and onion over the pastry base.

Step 5

Crack 6 eggs on top of the bacon and onion (do not whisk, keep yolks whole for texture).

Step 6

Whisk the remaining 2 eggs with milk, grated cheese, salt and pepper. Pour this mixture evenly over the pie.

Step 7

Cover with the second sheet of pastry, seal the edges, and trim excess. Make a few small slits in the top to allow steam to escape.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 3-35 minutes, or until the pastry is golden and puffed.

Step 9

While the pie bakes, prepare the salad: slice the tomatoes, cucumber and red bell pepper. Toss with salad greens.

Step 10

Drizzle the balsamic vinegar over the salad just before serving.

Step 11

Slice the pie and serve warm alongside the fresh garden salad.
