Steps

  • Heat sunflower oil in a large non-stick frying pan.

  • Preheat a baking tray in the oven to 190°C.
  • Pulse flour, salt, and butter in a food processor into fine breadcrumbs.
  • Blend in one whisked egg and a tablespoon of water to form dough.

  • Roll half the pastry to 0.5cm thick and line a 23cm pie plate.
  • Scatter bacon over the base and crack six eggs onto the pastry.
  • Beat the remaining eggs with milk, salt, and pepper.
  • Pour most of the beaten eggs into the case, reserving some for glazing.
  • Roll out the remaining pastry and place it over the filling as a lid.
