    1 Preheat oven to 190°C. Lay 1 filo pastry sheet on a large board. Brush very thinly with melted spread. Lay another sheet on top and repeat until you have 6-sheet stack. Line base and sides of a large baking dish (about 25x30cm) with filo pastry stack.

    2 Sprinkle with bacon, onions and peas.Gently pour eggs over.

    3 With remaining filo make a 3-sheet filo pastry stack. Fold in half and place carefully on top pie. Trim or fold in edges as required. Pierce pastry in several places (with a knife or fork) to allow steam to escape.

    4 Bake for 10 minutes then reduce temperature to 180°C. Cook for 40-45 more minutes until pastry is golden and filling feels firm when tested with a knife. Serve warm or at room temperature.

    Variations

    Add tomato: Slice 2 medium-sized tomatoes thinly and place slices on top of bacon before adding spring onions and peas.
    Add potato: Chop leftover cooked potato in small chunks and add to pie with peas and spring onions.
