Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces egg noodles
- 6 slices bacon
- 1.5 cups farmer cheese
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with the butter and set aside.
Cook the egg noodles in a large pot of salted boiling water until just al dente, according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
While the noodles cook, chop the bacon into small pieces and fry in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Reserve about 1 tablespoon of the bacon drippings.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Add the cooked noodles, crumbled farmer cheese, and crispy bacon to the bowl with the egg mixture. Toss gently to ensure everything is evenly coated.
Transfer the noodle mixture to the prepared baking dish. Spread it out evenly and drizzle the reserved bacon drippings over the top for added flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the custard is set.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy this traditional Czech-inspired comfort food!
