Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Bacon
- 6 large Eggs
- 50 grams All-purpose flour
- 250 ml Whole milk
- 20 grams Butter
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chives (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Lightly grease a 9-inch round baking dish or springform pan with butter and set aside.
Chop the bacon into small pieces. Place in a large skillet over medium heat and cook until crispy. Transfer the cooked bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess fat.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until smooth. Gradually add the flour, whisking constantly to ensure there are no lumps.
Melt the butter in the skillet used for the bacon and pour it into the egg mixture. Stir to combine, then season with salt and ground black pepper.
Add the cooked bacon to the egg mixture and stir gently to evenly distribute.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35–40 minutes, or until the cake is firm to the touch and the top is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let the cake cool for 5 minutes before slicing.
Garnish with freshly chopped chives, if desired, and serve warm. This dish pairs well with a green salad or pickled vegetables.
