Mushroom, Tomato, Bacon and Egg Pie

Submitted by NotQuiteVegetarian

"This is based on a Pampas Pastry recipe that I've had for years. I added the tomato and onion to give it just that bit more pizazz! Also, I substituted puff pastry for the shortcrust pastry in the original recipe. If you make too much filling for the pie case, you can refrigerate it for up to two days and use it in a savoury omelette or scramble."

My family enjoyed this very much. Bacon, eggs and mushrooms are always a winner in our house. Very quick to put togeather. My only error was being a little heavy handed with the mushrooms because we love them, however this created a little too much fluid for the pastry - but if I stuck to the recipe I am sure this would not have happened.
