Egg and Bacon Pie

1 17,5-oz. package frozen puff
pastry sheets, thawed (2 sheets)*
8 thin slices Canadian bacon
6 eggs

Π tsp. pepper
ø c. finely chopped parsley or

*Homemade puff pastry is delicious but difficult and time consuming to make.
The ready-made sheets are convenient to use and are just as tasty when baked. Be sure to thaw sheets at room temperature for at least 20 minutes before using. If the pastry starts to crack while you’re working with it, just wet your fingers with a little water and press the pastry firmly together to seal.
1. Preheat oven to 400°F. On a lightly floured working surface, use a rolling pin to roll out one sheet of pastry until it is Π -inch thick.
2. Line a 9-inch pie plate with pastry sheet and press gently into place.
Cover pastry with Canadian bacon,overlapping slices to form an even layer. Crack eggs onto bacon-lined crust and break yolks with a fork.
Season with salt and pepper and sprinkle with parsley or chives.
3. Roll out the second sheet of pastry to Π -inch thick. With your fingers
or a pastry brush, lightly brush the lower pastry’s edge with water.Gently place the second sheet of pastry on top of the pie. Press edges firmly together and cut off any extra pastry. Flute edges by pinching pastry gently between your thumb
and forefinger. Carefully use a sharp knife to cut a few small slits in the
middle of the top crust.
4. Place pie plate on a baking sheet and bake for 30 minutes, or until pastry is puffed and golden brown. Carefully remove pie from the oven and allow to cool before serving.
