Easy Bacon and Egg Pie has it all and makes a delicious, filling breakfast or brunch so much more special ! Perfect for the family or wow your holiday guests with this easy breakfast pie.
A slice of this easy Bacon and Egg Pie , a sausage on the side, fresh fruit and freshly squeezed juice and you are in for a delicious breakfast or brunch.
As I have mentioned before, we are more brunch kind of people, and also only on the odd special occasion or maybe a Saturday morning.
When I serve brunch I like to place all the food on the table and let everyone help themselves. I’ll have everything sliced up and ready for the hungries so that they can dig in immediately after sitting down.
Brunch is also one of the rare times we would all sit at the table, usually outside, and enjoy a meal together.
With the kids’ different days they’re home, makes it difficult to get everyone at the dinner table at the same time.
I also did not have use of my dinner table for a few months, but that is going to change pronto, as I have the use of my dining room suite back again (don’t ask !).
If I have time the night before, I would prepare the Bacon and Egg Pie from step #1 through to step #3.
When morning comes, I heat up the oven again, finish the steps and have a delicious breakfast or brunch addition ready in under an hour.
