From a cookery book dated 1981.
10 oz short crust pastry.
Filling:
2 tomatoes - sliced thinly. 1 Tbsp grated onion. Salt and pepper.
6 - 8 ozs bacon. 4 eggs.
Use half of pastry to line an 8 inch dish/pie plate. Arrange tomato in dish then add grated onion. Cut bacon into small pieces and put in pie in a cross shape - leaving four hollows for eggs. Break an egg into each hollow and season. Damp edges and put on pastry lid. I just go round the edges with a fork and then brush with milk. Cook 30 minutes - 190 then a further 25 - 30 minutes at 180. Lovely hot or cold.
Makes 6 servings.
Can freeze.
I use bacon trimmings - Mr T - about £1.20 for 500g - I make this enough for 3 pies. In the past when I have been out of tomatoes - used mushrooms instead. A pie does us two for three dinners.
Thank you Florenecem I will try this soon. SL XMFIT -T5 #420 -

Carrot cup cakes:
http://realfood.tesco.com/recipes/mini-carrot-cakes.html
They were tasty!
The recipe says 6 cakes but I thought there was a lot of mixture so did 12. Well the recipe was right! Still tasty. I ran out of raisins so used part dates.
Not sure on cost but I had a large bag of carrots which needed finishing off and all the other ingredients I had in. Very easy recipe with sensible ingredients.0 -
