Leftover - Potato, Bacon and Cheese Pie

this is a really easy recipe using leftovers - no particular quantities

Ingredients:
Oven: 180/90 deg. C - approx. 30 mins.

leftover potatoes - chopped up (small - ish)
bacon or ham or fry a few fresh pieces and also chop them up
1 onion - peeled, chopped and sauteed in butter or oil until softened 
soft cheese - eg. goats cheese - chopped roughly
2 eggs, smallish amount of milk and some double cream - mixed together
filo pastry or shortcrust or just crushed cracker base
small amount of melted butter for brushing filo sheets

Method:
If using filo, using some melted butter, brush each of the filo leaves.
Butter a baking dish and lay a couple of layers down - with some overlapping edges -

Beat the eggs, milk and cream together, + seasoning to taste - set aside

Fill pastry with the above cooked ingredients.

Pour the creamy/eggy sauce over the top - to just about cover.

Place the cheese on top - (can also use grated cheese.) *
fold over the extra flaps of pastry, into the centre - cover all the filling.
Brush melted butter over the top.

*dont use too much salt for the filling as the cheese and bacon will be quite salty. 

Bake until the pastry is nicely browned on top.
This reheats well.
