Egg 'n Cheese BREAKFAST PIE with Stacey Mei Yan Fong | Makin' It! | Brad Leone

Breakfast pie... ay yi yi! This really coulda been an episode of Local Legends, because let me tell ya... Stacey, complete Ledge. But it's not! It's an episode of Makin' it! and I get to make pie for breakfast in the studio with the one and the only Stacey Mei Yan Fong. This might be the start of my new career as a pastry chef, folks.
This is the New Jersey pie from Stacey's book, "50 Pies, 50 States: An Immigrant's Love Letter to the United States Through Pie". It's got the #1 best breakfast meat of all time, Pork Roll/Taylor Ham, plus sunny side up fried eggs, good ole american cheese, and a from-scratch poppyseed pie crust. She taught me all her tips and tricks for how to get a beautiful perfect lil edge to her pie crusts, how to roll the dough, how to get the pie crust to brown just right... I'm gonna be the most popular guy at the party next Thanksgiving.
For more details about this recipe, and a million more fantastic recipes for crusts and fillings inspired by every state in the US of A, get Stacey's book here: www.amazon.com...

Petition for Stacey's to join the Brad Leone Culinary KZbin Universe, anyone? She's so awesome! 🥺

CHEF MAI and her own people are EMPERORS and they're looking to CONQUER EMPIRES not make Allies.

Stacy seems like she would be great to hang and cook with, super chill and upbeat! Another great guest! :)

This may be one of my favorite episodes. Both of these Granite-Huffers just seem like such fun and wonderful people to be around.

SHE'S AWESOME! More team ups with Stacey please! :D

[@iplaywithfoodttmohammed99]

You will refer to CHEF as CHEF MEI. Not by her Anglo name.

[@joev.8543]

These two are a great team. She's the perfect personality to compliment to our boy B.

[@iplaywithfoodttmohammed99]

HAHAHAAAAAA. no.

[@taylorbond5442]

Another banger from our boy Brad and Stacey was amazing

[@seanconway6905]

I love how they were vibing just off on a tangent and the camera man’s like… uhhh so what’s happening right now? Explain it to the audience! Love it. Brad should do a podcast following the episodes to chat more casually so we can see more of the connection with the guest!

[@MR_WANG187]

SHES GORGEOUS ❤

[@Christine-in3oo]

This old Jersey girl loves this! The recipe, the video and your presentation. The book is great! I'm working my way through it. So far, I've done Sweet Tea Peach with Pecan Crumble and New York Apple with "Entenman's Crumb" Topping. Everyone loved them. Your all butter pie crust directions are excellent. It came out perfectly both times. Next is Florida Key Lime and The Jersey pork roll pie is when we go down the shore next month with family. Thank you!

[@Justin-TPG]

When you said you were going to put the eggs on, I thought you meant quiche-style. I’m sure it tastes great but this seems a longwinded way to make a fry-up. The pie crust will be good for actual pies. Stacey is cool

[@kyleclerc8099]

I'd love a collab with Kenji. Your comment on the chickens made me think a fox got in the henhouse...or it was stewin' season.

[@WhiteRussianDolls]

What a lovely episode!

1:20 Hooray the best part of the episode. Must pay our due respects to the Ingredient Shrine.

The First Cut Is The Deepest was written and performed (originally) by Cat Stevens!!! We! Love! Cat!!!

I'm glad you came around to the American cheese Brad!

[@A.Spivey]

Such Kids! The first cut is the deepest is ROD STEWART!!!

[@alittlejolly]

what a delightful pairing. I THINK! Stacey sniffed the rock because Brad said he rubbed oil on it. She was smelling for the oil!

[@SMOKIN-STICK]

What a great episode👏🏻 I wish Ian would be still for a freakin second… also focus the camera… Suss… af… 😂👊🏻

[@cinchdanksoul]

Brad has a walk in fridge and a full dish pit setup? I'm so freaking envious!

Stacey: "you know who sings it?" Me: "Cat Stevens."

[@MelissaThompson432]

(Yeah, of course I knew she meant Sheryl Crow.)

[@MFToastable]

Nice job on the crust, bud! But your final product looked pretty flat and floppy. Why not top it off with something more like a quiche?

[@cvatseris]

Your siri timer command activated my iPad timer, seemingly we have similar voice tones LOL - edit: TWICE!

CHEF MEI has been making dumplings with her Hong Kong fam since she was a little girl. Her fingers can crimp a pie crust with her eyes closed.

[@macymckeon1849]

Your measuring cups are with your pie weights, buried treasure waiting for you to find! I thought Stacey was smelling the mineral oil..try parchment paper instead of tin foil.🤟

Super great. My first Brad video after liking him at BA. What is parkbaking? I am not a baker and am flummoxed.

[@tomgriffin80]

The pie definitely wasn't the only thing that got baked

[@tylerlima4917]

What brand of non stick did you use to cook the eggs?

[@gagamba9198]

Olivier & Canard.

[@tinntinnamp]

It looks like he is using hexclad pans- they are very expensive! I do not know for sure as I've never heard him mention what pan type and there are knock off brands, the hex clad are meant to be very durable though so I'm assuming that's it.

When Brad says "I don't measure much"....I felt so seen. Well done Brad. can we please get an old school Brad & Claire collab at some point? it might break the internet

[@leenabowman9716]

I just randomly watched Claire’s bagel bites video where Brad didn’t want American cheese and so this feels like full circle

[@stevetipton7151]

Love that episode! Everyone makes their own bagel pizzas with the cutest little toppings.

[@iplaywithfoodttmohammed99]

Yup, cuz Brad is a talented and experimentative and creative wonderful human whose true talent is bringing people together and one of Brad's hobbies is cooking. They also include travel, fishing, meeting new people, woodwork, knife craftsmanship, pottery. His favourite movie is the Home Alone series. We true Bubscribers don't mention Claire and Brad in the same breath thank you very much.

One thing I learned from this video was when brad squirted the ketchup on the side first , then on the pie. ! Genius! I hate when I squirt the bottle and all the yuck ketchup juice comes out 🤢 now let’s see if I remember to do this ! Lol

I love ketchup on my eggs, but I just can’t do ketchup and pork roll, I usually go Cholula.
