Line a deep baking dish with the shortcrust pastry.
Mix together the onion, sausagemeat, mushrooms, bacon, mixed herbs and salt and pepper - the best way, but messy, is to mix it with your hands - put the mixture into the baking dish and smooth over.
Make 6 dips in the mixture with the back of a spoon - I do 5 round the side and 1 in the centre - and carefully break an egg into each dip.
Cover with the puff pastry sheet and glaze with the milk. Make 2 - 3 slashes in the top, avoiding the eggs, and bake until the pastry is a lovely golden brown, usually about 1 hr.
This is great cold for picnics or packed lunches. Mum used to make this for Dad to take to work so I'm dedicating it to them and memories of a great childhood.
