Ingredients
1 med onion, diced finely, cooked in air fryer for 5 mins
2 sheets flaky pastry
200 g quality, streaky bacon
5 eggs
small handful parsley, chopped roughly
½ tsp sea salt
1/4 tsp cracked black pepper
chutney – to serve
Directions
- Preheat the air fryer to 185 C. Grease a 22cm tin.
- Flour each sheet of pastry and roll out to a bit thinner.
- Add bacon and onions into the pie base.
- Break in the eggs evenly distributed. Prick one yolk to allow for some spread. Season with salt and pepper. Use a small pastry brush dipped into eggs and brush pastry edges. Cover with second pastry sheet, pressing edges to seal. Trim excess pastry.
- Brush the pie top with a milk/egg wash, make a few slits to allow air to escape during cooking.
Bake in the air fryer for 20 minutes until golden brown on top.
TIP: Remove, then flip the pie onto an oven proof plate or tray (I use a cake tin base) and return to the air fryer to cook the base, for a further 10 minutes will do it. - Remove the pie, flip it back over, slice it and eat! It’s that easy… ENJOY!
