Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 6 slices bacon
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chives or parsley (chopped, optional for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon butter or oil (for greasing the pan)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch round baking dish or oven-safe skillet with butter or oil, ensuring the sides are well-coated to prevent sticking.
In a medium skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet and set it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into small pieces and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and flour until smooth and well combined. Add the salt and black pepper, and whisk again to combine.
Pour the egg mixture into the prepared baking dish or skillet. Sprinkle the crumbled bacon evenly over the top.
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the egg cake is puffed up, golden brown on the edges, and set in the middle. You can test doneness by inserting a knife into the center; it should come out clean.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Slice into wedges, garnish with chopped chives or parsley if desired, and serve warm. Enjoy your authentic Danish Aeggkage!
