directions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Roll out the pasty and line a 9 inch buttered quiche dish. Press buttered foil over the pastry and bake 10 minutes until pastry is firm.
  • Reduce heat to 350F, remove foil, and bake pastry for an additional 10 minutes until crisp (but not brown). Remove from oven and cool.
  • Heat heavy frying pan, add bacon and cook over medium heat for 5 minutes. Remove bacon pieces from pan with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Arrange the bacon in the pie shell.
  • Add scallions to the bacon drippings in the pan, and cook over low heat until soft and transparent. Remove scallions from the pan and arrange over the bacon.
  • Beat eggs with cream cheese until smooth. Mix in parsley and season well with salt and pepper. Pour mixture over the bacon and scallions.
  • Place pie in the oven and bake at 350 for 20 - 30 minutes, until the eggs are just set. (Cover the edges with foil if they're getting too brown.).
  • Serve warm.

  1. So, I wasn't sure if this would fly with the family, yet what the heck, it's gonna happen.  I used a pie crust, store bought, aka lazy.  I also used bacon bits, the good ones!!  I did everything the recipe said to do otherwise. My husband, daughter, and stepson loved it!!  I really loved it as well.  Super easy to make too.  In fact there was NONE left, G-O-N-E.  I am glad I grabbed an extra piece before sitting down, DANG they were animals over this!! Yep, this is a keeper!!
     
  2. sounds similar to something my nan and ma would have made as a child living in the Welsh valleys,, shipple thou??? never heard of it,, "jibon" was and still is used as the word for spring onion/green onion or scallion. The only other world used sometimes was sibolsyn, Mind you,, there are differences in words used from South to North.
     
  3. This is very good. I especially enjoy the crust. I made this into individual pies.
