Step 1

Preheat the oven to 200°C fan bake and place an oven tray in to heat. Grease a 20x30cm oven dish.

Step 2

Dust the bench with flour and roll the pastry to fit your dish. Press it into the dish so it comes up the sides.

Step 3

Neatly line the pastry with 5-6 strips of bacon, then top with the thinly sliced potato.

Step 4

In a mixing bowl, lightly whisk 4 of the eggs with the milk, salt and pepper. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bacon and potato. Crack the remaining 4 eggs over the pie, breaking the yolks so they spread a little, and top with the remaining bacon.

Step 5

Place your pie on the heated oven tray and bake until the pastry is golden and the egg is set - about 40 minutes.

Step 6

Serve warm or at room temperature. It will keep in a covered container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
