This is for the 'real men' because we all know they don't eat quiche but this is a pie not a quiche !
Great served with a garden salad for lunch or dinner.

2 cups plain flour
Pinch of salt
150 grams butter (chopped into cubes)
4 tablespoons ice cold water
Good squeeze of lemon juice
Instructions

Pie:

Roll out 2/3rds of pastry and line a greased flan tin/dish.
Chop bacon into 5 cm pieces and fry lightly. Drain on paper towel. Fry onion slices in same pan until soft and transparent.
Evenly cover the base of the pastry case with pieces of bacon. Break eggs on top of the bacon and pierce the yolks with a small sharp knife. Season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle parsley over top then cover with a layer of tomato slices and the fried onion.
Roll out remaining pastry and cover pie. Brush with milk or egg wash (beaten egg) and bake for 30 -35 minutes (until pie is golden brown).
