I guess I’ve always obsessed about food to some extent, but since becoming a food blogger, I literally dream about the stuff.
I dreamt about making these yummy little pies last night, then woke up and made them for real.
I have to say, my subconscious is a darn good cook. They taste fabulous!
And if you don’t have the energy to make your own brunch, it’s worth checking out Kate’s Awesome guide to finding the best vegan brunch London. Perfect for those of us that don’t visit London often but want to find the best little eateries when we do go. Cheers Kate :)
Dreamy Little Brunch Quiche Pies
Prep Time
20 mins
Cook Time
18 mins
Total Time
38 mins
Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 250 g shortcrust pastry
- 6 slices bacon
- 1 onion chopped
- 4 large eggs
- 4 mushrooms chopped
- salt & pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200/180 fan/400/gas 6. Grease a muffin tin really well to stop the pastry from sticking.
- Chop the bacon and fry until crispy. Remove from the pan and fry the onion and mushrooms.
- Beat the eggs and season really well.
- Roll the pastry out pretty thin, and using a small bowl or large mug, cut circles from the pastry. Line the muffin tin with the pastry discs, cutting away the excess around the top.
- Keep rolling out the remnants of pastry. With 250g of pastry, I managed to get 8 pies.
- Divide the bacon, onion and mushrooms between each pie. Pour the egg mixture over each one, letting it soak down between the ingredients.
- Top each pie with a slice of tomato, and bake for 15-18 minutes, until the egg has set and the top is golden brown.
- Lovely served warm from the oven with a salad, or let cool before packing in a lunch box.

Yummy! These look so delicious. And I love your photography! Wonderful styling :)
My husband often comes up with great design ideas in his dreams. Once he dreamed about a beautiful wine rack then made it! It turned out great :)
Jane Sarchet says
Wow, thank you Tammy. I am trying SO hard with the photography.
I can’t wait for the day when I just automatically take a shot without having to think through every single setting on the camera first!
The wine rack sounds awesome, glad I’m not alone as a dream maker :)

Little tarts always look so delicious! I’d love to open my lunch box and find your little quiches. Blogging does make one obsessive. I am fixated on the ‘props’ in blogs. I am lusting after your tin tuck box! : )

I know, isn’t it adorable? My favourite hobby is rummaging through junk shops looking for bits I can use in my photo’s!
From one obsessive to another, have a lovely day :)
