I LOVE egg and bacon pie, but my boy friend won't eat meat, is there a pie that I can make that is similar?!
PS I love my egg in the pie to be whole (cracked onto the bacon, not whisked then added as for some)
Thanks heaps

buy some facon
soy bacon :)
If he's not vegan, that should be simple. Find a pie crust that doesn't have lard, mono-diglycerides or sodium steroyl lactylate. Better yet, make your own. There are some really simple vegan pie crust recipes out there. The ones with coconut oil and vodka turn out really well.
Buy some vegetarian bacon. Fry it in olive or canola oil until it's crumbly. Crumble it and use it like you would bacon (do expect it to get a little chewy during baking).
Then proceed as you normally would.
look around for immitation fake meat. my local supermarket sells "Bacon Style Rashers" that is used as a substitute for bacon. just make the pie like normal but use the substitute. and just to make sure your man knows what it is, show him the packaging before you make it so that he knows its not the real stuff.
Morningstar does amazing bacon. I don't know if you can get it in Aus, but there have to be other brands too.
As for the egg, well, try getting tofu scramble, or silken tofu and adding turmeric and garlic to it- it tastes really good- there are ways to make tofu taste like an egg.
you can get vegetarian bacon but it won't be chewy like the bacon in a pie, it'll be a different consistency. You could try that, or you could try making smaller single serve pies so one vego and one with bacon on the bottom. His n hers.
Make a vegan pastry, and put anything non animal in it.
its a quish. Just do eggs with cheese, onions, tomato's peppers mushrooms.
