Instructions

1. 1
   Preheat the oven to 190°C (370°F or gas mark 5)
2. 2
   Divide the pastry into two equal portions, roll it out, and line a 20 cm (8-inch) oven-proof dish with one portion.
3. 3
   Combine the bacon and eggs, then mix in any seasoning or herbs.
4. 4
   Pour the egg mixture into the lined dish. Moisten the edge of the pastry then cover the dish with the second portion of rolled-out pastry.
5. 5
   Seal the edges. Make a small hole in the centre to allow steam to escape. If desired, the pastry can be brushed with a beaten egg or milk to improve the browning.
6. 6
   Bake for about 35–40 minutes in the preheated oven.
