text: 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?"

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 don't even like Crème Eggs!'

And while this particularly sweet-savoury offering may seem odd to some, Mr Clarkson isn'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. For just £1.85 you too could could enjoy the Cadbury's Creme Egg surrounded by chilli flavoured sausage meat and covered in breadcrumbs. Butcher Greig Foston explained: 'We always try to think up something new and exciting for the time of year - we try to get our thinking caps on.'
