Instructions
- Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large pan and sauté 1 chopped onion until soft and lightly golden.
- Add the 10 chopped mushrooms and 1 chopped green pepper, and cook for about 5 minutes until they soften.
- Stir in the 1 cup fried bacon pieces, 1½–2 cups fried boerewors pieces, and 1 tbsp garlic.
- Let everything cook together for another 5–10 minutes so the flavors settle in.
- Remove from the heat to cool a bit; hot fillings can make your pastry soggy.
- Roll out your store-bought pastry on a floured counter.
- Press it into a pie dish or baking tray and poke a few holes with a fork, so the bottom doesn’t puff too much.
- Spoon the cooled boerewors-and-bacon filling into the pastry.
- Whisk 6 large eggs with salt, pepper, thyme, and oregano.
- Pour the mixture evenly over the filling.
- Sprinkle 1 cup of grated cheese on top, plus a little extra herbs if you like.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 20–30 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the pastry is golden and crisp.
- Let it rest for 5 minutes so it slices neatly.
- Great with a simple salad.
