As we are topical on eggs I thought I would test out a dish on Megs to see if eggs do set her off. Glutton for punishment or what, just got her settled and on a steady balance so now is the time to test. Why? well it will add in a great option for packed lunches and summer lunches if it works. If it doesn't I will be cursing myself but as I have a couple of quiet work days up ahead I can cope with the fallout!!!! 
The usual warning about checking ingredients. Make sure your bacon is unsmoked preferably from a good source as alot of the cheap bacons have added sugar water to them.
This makes a great dish hot or cold for lunches.
Serves 4
175g / 6oz plain flour
40g / 1 1/2oz margarine
40g / 1 1/2 oz lard
3 to 4 desertspoon water
Filling:
175g / 6oz bacon
2 large eggs
300ml/ 1/2 pint milk
Flavouring as required salt, pepper and herbs.
Place the flour in a bowl and rub in the fat to resemble breadcrumbs. Bind to a dough with the water. Leave to rest for 5 to 10 minutes.
Roll out on a floured board to approx 10 inches / 25cm diameter. fit into an 8 inch / 20cm greased flan tin. Trim off excess pastry.
Cut bacon up into small pieces and lightly fry for about 5 minutes. Drain the fat. Place around flan base.
Whisk the eggs and milk gently together to avoid frothing. Add salt, pepper, herbs as required and pour over the bacon.
