Ingredients

• 250 grams unsmoked streaky bacon
• 6 pieces large eggs
• 100 milliliters double cream
• 1 teaspoon English mustard
• 100 grams cheddar cheese, grated
• 250 grams all-purpose flour
• 125 grams cold unsalted butter, cubed
• 3 tablespoons cold water
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
• 2 tablespoons milk, for glazing

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F).

Step 2

To make the pastry, sift the flour and salt into a bowl. Rub in the cold butter with your fingertips until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.

Step 3

Add the cold water gradually, a tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together. Wrap the dough in cling film and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.

Step 4

While the pastry chills, cook the bacon in a frying pan over medium heat until just crispy. Remove from the pan and set aside to cool.

Step 5

In a bowl, whisk together 4 eggs, double cream, mustard, salt, pepper, and parsley. Stir in the grated cheddar cheese.

Step 6

Roll out the chilled pastry on a floured surface to about 3mm thick. Line a 20cm (8-inch) pie dish with the pastry, trimming excess around the edges. Reserve the trimmings for the top crust.

Step 7

Scatter the cooked bacon evenly across the base of the pastry-lined dish.

Step 8

Gently pour the egg mixture over the bacon, ensuring it spreads out evenly.

Step 9

Crack the remaining 2 eggs directly into the pie, keeping the yolks intact for pockets of rich flavor.

Step 10

Roll out the remaining pastry trimmings and lay them over the top, either as a full lid with slits for ventilation or as lattice strips for decoration. Press the edges to seal, and trim any overhang.

Step 11

Brush the top with milk for a golden glaze.

Step 12

Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes until the pastry is golden and the filling is set.

Step 13

Allow the pie to cool slightly before serving. It's delicious warm or at room temperature.
