Breakfast Pie - A Full English Breakfast, in pie form! Can it be possibly true?
It certainly can - we live in an age of wonders!
Making Breakfast Pie
I started out by making the crust for the pie - formed from two slices of white bloomer bread, pressed into an ovenproof dish and brushed with sunflower oil.
These are then held in form by placing another dish on top - then baking in a hot oven for 15 minutes, until the bread starts to fry and turn crispy.
Next, a large rasher of bacon (for each pie) is rolled up and put in the oven in an ovenproof dish.
Sausages, potato slices and mushrooms are fried in a pan.
Black pudding (actually, a Spanish Morcilla) is sliced and gently fried, in the same pan as the sausages, after they come out.
Once everything is mostly cooked, it's time to assemble - the sausage is cut in half and arranged inside the crispy bread shell, along with the other ingredients, and a couple of fresh mini plum tomatoes.
Two eggs are cracked into the middle of the pie, then the whole thing is baked in the oven for 20 minutes (or until the egg is done).
Just before serving, some baked beans are warmed in a pan and served on top of the pie. Breakfast Pie - enjoy!

GOD. I think my heart just exploded from sympathy cholesterol. I so have to have one of these...
The breakfast pies that I have made before are slightly different, with a pastry outside and a sausage meat filling interspersed with the other items (bacon, boiled eggs, tomatoes and whatever else takes your fancy).
