Course: Breakfast
Cuisine: American
Keyword: bacon, breakfast, brunch, casserole, cheese, eggs, puff pastry
Servings: 9 pieces
- 1/4 lb puff pastry thawed
- 12 slices bacon cut into ½" strips
- 1 medium onion halved & thinly sliced
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 ½ cups shredded Gruyere (or cheddar)
- salt & pepper
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook bacon, stirring occasionally, until the pieces start to brown (4 to 5 minutes).
Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until the bacon is crispy and the onions are lightly browned (5 to 7 minutes). With a slotted spoon, transfer mixture to a plate; let cool slightly.
While the bacon/onion mixture is cooking, unroll puff pastry to 10-inch square and place in an 8-inch square baking pan. (You might need to fold the corners to fit.) Prick bottom of dough with a fork.
Spread the bacon/onion mixture over pastry.
In a small bowl, whisk eggs, cream, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper.
Pour egg mixture over the bacon/onion mixture. Sprinkle cheese on top and bake until filling is set and top is golden (about 40 minutes).
