Ingredients

• 200 grams Bacon
• 6 large Eggs
• 100 milliliters Heavy cream
• 50 grams All-purpose flour
• 100 milliliters Whole milk
• 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
• 2 stalks Green onions, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Lightly grease a 9-inch (23 cm) round baking dish or a pie pan with the butter.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove from the skillet and place on a plate lined with paper towels to drain the excess grease. Once cooled, crumble or chop the bacon into small pieces.

Step 3

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, and milk until fully combined and smooth.

Step 4

Sift the all-purpose flour into the egg mixture while whisking to avoid lumps. Add the salt, black pepper, and optional nutmeg, and whisk until the batter is smooth.

Step 5

Stir in the crumbled bacon and chopped green onions, reserving a small handful of each for garnish.

Step 6

Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, ensuring it is evenly distributed.

Step 7

Sprinkle the reserved bacon and green onions over the top for an extra layer of flavor and visual appeal.

Step 8

Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the egg cake is golden brown and set in the center. You can check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean.

Step 9

Remove the cake from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Step 10

Serve warm or at room temperature with a side of fresh salad or crusty bread, if desired.
