Ingredients (6)
- 4 (29 x 29cm) large sheets ready-rolled shortcrust pastry

- 1 cup (120g) grated cheddar cheese

1.Preheat oven to 180°C.

2.Grease a 25 x 30 x 3cm baking tray. Line the base and sides using 2 sheets of puff pastry, tucking the pastry into the corners and carefully sealing the join down the middle. Refrigerate for 15 minutes.

3.Place bacon in a heavy-based frying pan over medium-high heat and cook until it starts to crisp. Set aside on paper towel to drain and cool. Sprinkle half the bacon into the pastry-lined pan and top with the cheese. Break 12 of the eggs over the cheese, then top with the remaining bacon and parsley.

4.Combine the remaining egg with 1 tablespoon water and use half to brush the pastry edges. Top with remaining 2 sheets of pastry, pressing the joins together to seal. Pinch the edges together. Brush the pastry top with remaining beaten egg.

5.Use a knife to make two air holes in the top, then bake in the oven for 45 minutes until golden. Set aside to cool for 10 minutes.

6.Serve the egg and bacon slice warm with tomato sauce.
