Steps

  • Rub butter into flour and salt until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
  • Whisk one egg with lemon juice and water, then mix into flour to form a dough ball.
  • Chill the wrapped pastry dough in the fridge for 30 minutes.
  • Sauté onion and garlic in oil for eight minutes until soft.
  • Add bacon and pork, cooking for 10 minutes until liquid evaporates, then cool completely.
  • Preheat the oven to 200°C.
  • Mix two eggs with cream cheese, cheddar, chives, seasoning, and the cooled meat mixture.
  • Line the cake tin with two-thirds of the rolled pastry.
  • Fill with mixture, make three wells, and crack the remaining three eggs into them.
  • Seal the pie with the pastry lid, brush with glaze, and make a steam hole.
  • Bake for 50 to 55 minutes until golden-brown and rest for 15 minutes before serving.
