Egg Pie

Princess Tafadzwa

This egg pie is perfect for a simple but delicious breakfast or brunch.

Happy new year! I am excited for this new year because of all the possibilities it holds. I have not quite figured everything out but one of my goals is to put more effort in my breakfast. Normally I end up eating a fried egg or some cereal.

To start things off right, I made this egg pie. With a little bit of planning you can make this pie and have it ready for breakfast or brunch like we did.

I made my own pastry, the same pastry I always make. Short crust pastry. Although it is not as flaky as puff pastry, I choose it because it only takes me 5 minutes or less to make with a blender. Two parts flour and one part butter, blend and add a little water. Leave in the fridge for about 20 minutes. Perfect time to do one or two chores.

I sliced an onion and red bell pepper and chopped some kale.

I rolled out the dough and placed it in the pie dish. Trimmed the pastry and layered the vegetables. I cracked each of the eggs taking care not to break the yolks and placed them on top of the vegetables. Sprinkled with some grated cheddar cheese and seasoned with salt and pepper.

I baked the pie in a preheated oven for 50 minutes.
