There are some good ideas amongst these. I have copied them into my cookbook/pie section. Thanks for posting them

Runny egg pies with homemade chippies

How do you make runny egg pies Amy - the pastry needs around 8 minutes, doesn't the egg go hard in that time?

I just cut the crusts of bread as use that instead of pastry Judy. Healthier and you get runny egg because it doesn't need as long

I got mine today too, astarra! Have to make shortcrust pastry first, then decide what to try - thinking goats cheese, sundried tomatoes & chive quiche because I have the ingredients. Apart from the pastry that is 

judy the eggs were still a little runny when I made egg and bacon pies with pastry, the inside must take longer to heat up. I used bought puff pastry.

I just done these... bacon, egg and cheese - they are yum!! 

[Amy :-)]

Astarra they look gorgeous!! Well done

I've made egg and bacon pies with pastry before Wonder and mine were fully cooked - they were quite scrummy actually and I found them just as delicious cold.

Thanks for the bread idea Amy.  A while back I bought a new jaffle maker as we both really enjoy a nice runny egg jaffle but the darn thing doesn't work for egg.  By the time the outside is golden and crisp, the egg is hard.  I will try making them like you do using the pie maker and this may be the solution.  I daresay you have to butter the bread though whereas you don't need to grease anything when using pastry.

Mmmm, runny egg pies. Love 'em! If I overcook my egg I give the pies to the dogs
I've never actually buttered my bread, Judy. I just cut the crusts off, poke it into the pie maker and crack the egg into it. This has always worked for me but I'd be interested to hear how you decide to do yours and how they turn out

So you don't put a top on it Amy?
