Chip shop boss John Clarkson has created a new answer to the Creme Egg question of 'how do you eat yours ? ' - by turning the chocolate into a pie to serve with chips . Eschewing the savoury favourites of sausage and egg or mince pies , Mr Clarkson decided to wrap the Easter delicacies in pastry before they were battered and deep-fried . The result is his very own 'Pie-egg-ra ' dish - Creme Egg oozing from the traditional pie casing which is then served with chips to more adventurous customers at a price of £2.75 . Scroll down for video . The 'Pie-egg-ra ' dish contains one and a half Cadbury 's Creme Eggs and is served with a side of chips . John Clarkson in his chip shop Mr Eaters Fish and Chips in Preston , Lancashire . The 55-year-old fryer , says the savoury-sweet mix is a hit with customers , who have taken to dipping chips into the Creme Egg 'yolk ' like traditional toast soldiers . The pie was created by blind-baking the casing as the egg would otherwise melt down , . Then one-and-a-half Creme Eggs were popped in as a filling . A lid is put on to seal the dish before the pie is battered and fried until golden , . And if the timings are expertly observed , the chocolate will just begin to soften in the middle . Mr Clarkson , who runs Mr Eaters Fish and Chips in Preston , Lancashire , said : ' I love Easter and I love Creme Eggs but I thought it would be fun to try and put my own spin on them . 'Everyone has heard of battered Mars Bars by now so I thought , `` what would be the next step up ? '' Mr Clarkson rolls out the pie casing ( left ) before stuffing one and a half Creme Eggs into it ( right ) The pie is then covered with a lid and dipped in batter ( left ) before being quickly deep fried ( right ) 'Creme Eggs are just the right size and shape to be placed in a pie , so I thought 'why not ? ' 'It 's a laugh and I always like seeing what I can conjure up next for customers that might be seen as a bit strange or unusual . If you 're tired of battered sausage , you might just fancy a Crème Egg Pie . ' His wife Corinne added : 'They actually taste delicious and I do n't even like Crème Eggs ! ' The couple are no stranger to wacky food creations . Last year , they created the world 's largest battered Ferrero Rocher which weighed a whopping 5kg and contained around 25,000 calories . Mr Clarkson says his savoury-sweet mix is a hit with customers , who have taken to dipping chips into the Creme Egg yolk , much like traditional toast soldiers . And while this particularly sweet-savoury offering may seem odd to some , Mr Clarkson is n't the first to have added his own touch to Creme Eggs . The Creme Egg in a Scotch Egg . A family butcher in the Scottish borders has come up with a new way to eat the eggs - inside a Scotch egg . Greig Foston and Benjamin Webb say their snack contains 1,000 calories - and is best served warm so the chocolate melts with the chilli-flavoured pork . Foston 's Fine Meats in the village of Duns , Berwickshire , Scotland , is now even planning to sell mini egg sausages to add to shop 's Easter offering .
