Ham & Bac0n Breakfast Pie

i stepped inside my kitchen after a long time. it was a sudden decision. things have been very hectic for the past few weeks. life is playing a wicked game. whenever i try to collect myself, life helps me to scatter my self. i am tired of composing myself. i wouldn't say i hated every moment inside kitchen, but lets put it as, i have learned (or probably still learning) to live with memories.

this dish is basically a breakfast dish. i came across this recipe months back in a cookery mag. but didn't get time to try it. today i just felt like. i had packet of ham & bacon lying in my fridge for quite some time. wanted to get rid of those, so today it finally happened. this dish is rich in proteins, but if you want you can give any one a miss. the dish is very simple to make, and tasty as well................. here goes the recipe

INGREDIANTS:

• 12 ham slices
• 12 bacon rashes
• 1 green apple
• 1 onion, chopped
• chilli flakes, according to taste
• 2 eggs
• 200ml cream
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• butter, for greasing
• 1 tbsp mixed herbs
• 1tbsp chopped coriander
• salt & pepper, to taste

METHOD:

• stack the bacon & ham and chop them into bite sized pieces. cut onion and apple into slices.
• add bacon to skillet & saute over low heat to render the fat. cook until the bacon begins to crisp.
• add onions & saute in the bacon fat till translucent along with ham, and apple slices. fry the apple till translucent.
• add the cream & bring to a simmer. adjust the seasoning. add some of the chilli flakes also. mix well. remove from heat & allow it to cool.
• beat the eggs in a bowl and  and mix it with the bacon sauce well along with the coriander.
• grease the flat tin with butter and coat lightly with breadcrumbs. 
• pour in the above mixture in the greased pan, top with the mixed herbs and put inside a preheated oven.
• cook it for 20mins @ 180 degree. cut in wedges and serve.

this dish is wholesome, but better to avoid in this summer. i like my onion chopped, and also i had halved the apple slices. since i didn't have green apple, i settled for a normal red apple. the dish did miss the crunch & tang. the original recipe asks to add a pinch of nutmeg, i didn't coz i didn't have. you can very well follow it. The red chilli flakes are also my addition, since i like the heat in my food. neither did i have a dozen of the bacon and ham, i settled for whatever was there.

try it!!! if you can......... a tasty dish is guranted.
