A bacon and egg plate pie is a hearty, comforting dish that combines bacon, rich eggs, and flaky pastry into a satisfying meal. The eggs set during baking, creating a firm yet creamy texture that pairs beautifully with the smoky, salty flavor of the bacon.

One of the best things about a bacon and egg plate pie is its versatility. It can be enjoyed hot or cold, making it perfect for breakfast, brunch, or even a packed lunch. Some variations include adding cheese, sautéed onions, or herbs like parsley and chives to enhance the flavor.

Cooking this pie on a camp plate adds an element of nostalgia to a time when this style of cookware and eating equipment was popular among most outdoor enthusiasts. Today, its versatility and longevity are still around in the camping and outdoor world.

Ingredients

6 rashes bacon diced
1/2 brown onion
6 eggs
1 sheet pastry

Equipment

camp plate
bowl

Directions

Preheat a camp oven to 355 degrees F (180 degrees C).
Dice the onion and bacon into small pieces.
Whisk the eggs in a bowl until flowing smoothly.
Stir the onion and bacon in with the whisked eggs.
Gently lay the puff pastry into the camp plate.
Tip: Typically, puff pastry has enough flour on it so it doesn't stick. If your puff pastry is moist, flour or grease the plate so it doesn't stick.
Place the pie in the oven and bake for 25 minutes or until browning and the egg is set all the way through.
The bacon and egg pie can be eaten hot with a side or cold as a lunch.
