Personally i am firmly in the pastry with bacon and eggs only camp, anything else "at all", IS NOT a bacon and egg pie.

Put pastry in a pie tin. Chop bacon, put in, Crack eggs, put in. Top pie with pasty. Bake.

Wot no onions ?

I too prefer just bacon and eggs but will admit to putting peas in if I am making it a day ahead for a picnic. It does keep the pie more moist but definitely no other additives if has a top.
I also make a bacon and egg flan/pizza type pie. This has onion, tomatoes, bacon and egg mixed with a little milk, then topped with grated cheese.

I have a round low sided pizza pan or I use a sponge roll tin depends on numbers I'm making it for.
Line with pastry (I tend to roll pastry fairly thin). then just top with slices of onion, tomato and chopped bacon. Lastly I break an egg into a cup add about ¼ -½ a cup milk, add salt and pepper, beat well to combine and pour this over mix, then just top with grated cheese. If doing it in the sponge roll tin use more eggs and milk.

Just made one for todays lunch. Not really authentic as I did the no-no thing and added chopped onion, peas and a little grated cheese. It was very nice too with a salad and some mustard pickle on the side. Homemade pastry of course. I think it's really a case of each to their own as we all do it differently depending on our tastes and what we have in stock.

Everyone likes different versions. Atm i like a crispy bottom and lattice top.
Thin pastry line a metal tin. Make filling, while pre heating a oven and tray to 200c.
My oven i Bake pie on the tray in middle of oven, bottom comes out nice and crispy.

Read a great tip for keeping pastry from getting soggy.. sprinkle some grated cheese over base pastry then add eggs and bacon. Very fine sprinkling and it really does work.

I heat a flat baking tray in the oven and keep the pastry quite thin. No soggy bottoms and even better, no cheese. I always use a metal tin.

Beaten eggs, definitely.

Vegetables or not, as long as it tastes good that is all that matters. People have different tastes so the cook makes what she/he wants and others can eat it---or not.

Dean Brettschneiders recipe. Trust me when I say it's worth the effort.

and whole eggs at that(lightly pricked at the most), if i wanted an omelette in a pie, i would ask for one.

Another of my pet hates, idiots who think serving me a whitebait omelette, is the same thing as the whitebait pattie i ordered.
