FAQs

  • Why is my bacon and egg pie watery? The pie filling has too much moisture: try pre-cooking the bacon to crisp it up and reduce the water in it. Also be sure to use fresh eggs.

  • Can you reheat mini bacon and egg pies in the microwave? Yes! They can also be heated in the microwave, although the bacon won't be as crispy.
