that sounds interesting. you got the recipe? eggs are by far my favorite food hahaha.
Bacon and egg pie
A classic New Zealand recipe for meatlovers everywhere. It's great with homemade pastry!
Pastry:
25g plain flour
(1/8 cup)
55g butter
(1/4 cup)
2-3 Tbsp cold water
Pinch of salt
Filling:
170g bacon
I'm gonna guess this one about 4 or 5 slices of bacon
5 eggs
100g cheese
(1/2 cup)
2 large tomatoes, sliced
3 Tbsp chopped parsley
Pinch of salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Pastry: Mix flour and salt in a bowl, then add cubes of butter. Rub butter into flour until there are no lumps, then slowly add and stir in enough cold water to bind dough. Wrap in clingwrap and chill for 10-15 minutes before use.
Filling: Remove rind from bacon and cut bacon into small pieces. Have all ingredients on-hand. Roll out half of pastry mixture and line a greased pie dish. On your pastry, layer bacon then parsley, onion and half the cheese. Arrange half the slices of tomato on top of the cheese and season with salt and pepper. Break eggs onto the tomato layer, breaking the yolks as you go. Top with leftover cheese and tomato. Wet edges of pastry and place the second half of the pastry (rolled out) on top. Make small slashes on top of the pie and glaze with beaten egg or milk. Bake at 180°C
(356°F) for one hour. Remove and leave to cool.

(This recipe is slightly similar I can find online, I don't add tomatoes, as for eggs in pie, I beat eggs with a bit cream or milk first, then add chopped bacon, cheese, onion in a bowl and then pour it on pastry. The pastry part I did cheated on it as I used the ready made pastry as no need to make it from the scratch and rolling it to make it flat)
You can add any vegetables like spinach, garlic etc in it if you like.
P.S: I did try my best with conversion from C degrees to F degrees and other measurements.
