For 4 to 5 people

about 150 gr of bacon

4 eggs

20 cl milk (207g)

150g of flour

1 pinch of nutmeg, salt, pepper

about 100 gr grated cheese (comté, emmenthal beaufort)

Optional chives

1 Tbsp oil

1. Blanch the bacon a few minutes in boiling water. (testing. Perhaps frying until only just starting to turn brown).
2. Mix together the flour, the eggs and milk (into a very thick pancake batter). 
3. Add the grated cheese.
4. Add a pinch of nutmeg (optional) and chives (if using). Salt (be careful if your bacon is smoked) and pepper.
5. Heat some oil (or duck fat) in an oven-ready frying pan, and pour the preparation into it.
6. Cook over low heat without stirring the preparation (just peel off the edges with a spatula) and let it set.
7. When it comes off the pan and the underside is golden, sprinkle with bacon on top of the dough (which is not yet set and is a bit runny)
8. Put the pan in the oven at 350°F (or the cake on a baking dish) and finish cooking.
9. Enjoy it hot with a salad on the side.
