I was so looking forward to reviewing this pie and after spending 45 minutes cooking it (as I was doing it from frozen), I was certainly ready for it! The packet does not recommend microwaving these pies at all, and doesn't even give instructions for that option. Personally I would microwave anyway, if I really need a pie fix at work or in a hurry, but not today.
Anyway the oven did a beautiful job and the pastry was lovely and crisp and flaky and the perfect yellowy brown. My husband and I shared this pie, although we could definitely have had a whole one to ourselves! I have to say it was a decent size for a single pie though.
The flavour of this pie was delicious! There was something red and jelly-like in the centre of the pie - maybe part of the tomato pesto? It tasted good anyway. The pie was quite cheesy too - perfect with the bacon, eggs and tomato - yum! I think it was the cheese that left a greasy feeling in the mouth afterwards though - something I haven't noticed with their other pies. It was a rather delicious greasiness though! The bacon was really good and plentiful too!
I'd happily buy more of these pies - it's probably the best store bought bacon and egg pie I've ever eaten!

I LOVE B'n'E pies... This one is no exception.
The fillings and flavourings are great and the pastry has just the consistency without being too crumbly.
I have tried many other B'n'E pies, but this is one I have actively gone LOOKING for in shops, a big thing for me.
All-in-all, a wonderful blend of bacon, eggs and pastry. Well done Maketu Pies.

Once again, a fine pie from the new masters of party. As every kiwi knows, a good B'n'E pie is a pretty subjective matter. After all, does it need onions, or do you prefer it without. Tomato or not? And how about mixed veges?
Well, this pie was brilliant. It had a great mix of all the right stuff, and the bacon was chunky, giving a satisfying body of pie to chew on. I hate pies that seem to be filled with puree... gimme a chunky pie any day!
The best recomendation I can give is... GO BUY ONE! If you like B'n'E pies, you'll be sure of enjoying these ones. 'Nuff said really.

BAKED frozen pizza is as close to the real deal as you can buy... in a supermarket. BAKED is made by humans, not machines. We place the toppings on and we care about how it looks. We hand make our pizza base and give it a traditional crust with a rolling pin (old skool styles). We then craft each pizza with tasty FREE RANGE toppings (yes we are shouting), because nothing tastes better than happy meat.
Our pizza has flavour in every ... more...
