This Moorish, nourishing, shortcrust pastry, cheese, bacon, cream,pie, is one of my favourite foods, to snack on at anytime of the day, or for a main meal, it was never given time to cool when it came out of the oven, the hot and bubbling filling, giving the kitchen the wonderful smell of, home baking. My family used to race to grab a slice while it was still hot, cursing when they burnt their lips on the hot melted cheese. Mum usually made a few pie's at once so there was some for later in the week, for packed lunches and for dad to take work. I'm sure you will love this recipe as my family and I did .
