How to made a New Zealand Bacon & Egg Pie - It's a Kiwi classic! Using My Bistro Pie Maker

The Bento Buster, a Kiwi in Japan, shows how to made a New Zealand Bacon & Egg Pie - It's a Kiwi classic! To bake the pie in the the oven, prepare it as in the video in a pie dish then back at 200c for 25 - 30 minutes or until the pastry is flaky and golden brown. I used a Japanese pie maker called My Bistro (only $12)
Ingredients:
Puff pastry pie sheets
eggs
mushrooms
green peas
slices of bacon
finely chopped green onion
pepper to taste
Egg wash
beat 1 egg and 1 Tbs water

As an Australian growing up with a bunch of kiwi friends this stuff is so nostalgic

As a kid growing up in NZ, beach picnics always meant Bacon and Egg pie for lunch. This is very nostalgic. Love the Kiwi humour.

[@bentobuster6995]

Exactly. Summer time memories too ☝️

[@johnramage3366]

My mother used to live in New Zealand. When I was a kid, she would make bacon and egg pies, either with flaky pastry, or with normal short crust pastry. There were never any peas, or onions or mushrooms or sauce. Once I tried to make it, adding sliced Spanish chorizo to the bacon, and it tasted amazing. Next time, I will try your method.

[@bentobuster6995]

Cheers. My mum made it this way in a big sheet pan. Loved it. It’s awesome cold with ketchup too … in my mind 😀

It doesn’t takes Ike boiled eggs, the oils for the bacon and pastry transform it to another level of egg.

I've made some amazing bacon and egg pies from watching your video and they have never failed me.

[@bentobuster6995]

Nice! i made one recently on KZbin shorts. I got a commercial pie tin from NZ. This combo of ingredients is what my mother used so I like it. Peas are a bit controversial but they as a burst of sweetness. I see in NZ some cafes as a dollop of eg tomato relish in too. I haven’t done that yet. I’d rather it in the side or with ketchup. Shortcut pastry for base then puff pastry for top is what I’m doing in my individual pie tins. My mum used puff pastry for the base and top.

[@robertbarnier45]

Been missing NZ. That was a good dose. I’ll make it today ❤❤❤. Aussie Bob

[@bentobuster6995]

My mum always put a few green peas in. But I never knew to some it’s really controversial but it really adds to the flavor. I had a pie in nZ in august from a bakery without them. Must say I prefer the addition of green peas ( and mushrooms) just the way I’ve always had it.

Just got back from nZ. Bought an industrial individual bacon and egg tin thst the bakery uses so will be making them exactly to scale. Saw a recipe there that a little relish is added but my family never did it that way.

I need to find one of those machines, it would make awesome Chicken or Beef Pot Pies. Those Egg and Bacon Pies look good, Need to cook it a little less so the egg Yolk can be a little runny for me. Only machine I could find on the USA Amazon is by MasterChef and the Pies are only 2 3/4" inches in diameter but I might look into getting it any ways to try it even though it wont hold very much.

[@bentobuster6995]

I put up the link so you can get the details and look around

[@johnramage3366]

You could try to cook it in a regular oven, if you can find a pie dish of that shape. However, I read elsewhere that if the dish is too deep, there might be problems cooking it or getting the stuff out.

[@johnramage3366]

Those pies are the same shape as a Melton Mobray pork pie. Have you ever tried making a pork pie before? I would like to see your recipe.

[@bentobuster6995]

Hmmm… well You can pouch an egg, freeze it then add it and it will defrost as it cooks. The Japanese do that with runny eggs in fried curry donuts. It might take a couple of times to get it right. And possibly more trouble than it’s worth. If always had it this way though.

Well That’s standard puff pastry from Australia. It’s a bacon and egg pie as you know so usually made in a sheet pan etc. Not sure where you are getting your “think” pasty from. Perhaps you are imagining shortcrust pasty as in a regular mince or steak pie but this isn’t that type of pie. Sorry…
