Ingredients
- 8 pieces of bacon
- 4 eggs
- 1 1/4 cup half and half
- 1 shallot finely diced
- 4 oz gruyere cheese, shredded
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
- tiny sprinkle of Nutmeg
- Fresh chives, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F. Heat a cast iron skillet or other oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
- Chop the bacon into small pieces and add it to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the bacon is crispy. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate and pour off all but about 1 tablespoon of the bacon grease.
- While the bacon cooks, finely dice the shallot and grate the Gruyère cheese.
- Add the shallot to the skillet with the reserved bacon grease and sauté for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened. Remove the skillet from the heat, leaving the shallots in the pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, half and half, salt, cayenne, and nutmeg until well combined.
- Stir in half of the cooked bacon and half of the shredded Gruyère cheese.
- Pour the egg mixture into the skillet over the sautéed shallots. Sprinkle the remaining bacon and Gruyère evenly over the top, then bake according to the remaining recipe instructions.
