New Zealand is famous for its bacon and egg pies, so by making one, you are doing your bit for Aotearoa -the land of the long white cloud. If you are not a kiwi, give it a shot - you wont be disappointed. Easy to make, you really can’t go wrong. Great for lunches, brunches, dinner or a picnic. The bacon and egg pie was recently voted as New Zealand’s national dish. Has to be served with tomato sauce on the side and a salad.
