Comment préparer Bacon And Gruyere Pain Perdu

Butter the insert of a large (6-quart or larger) slow cooker.
Cook 4 slices of bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp. Transfer to paper towels to drain and crumble.
Pour off all but 1 teaspoon of bacon fat from the skillet.
Add 1/4 cup finely chopped shallots to the skillet and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until softened (about 2 minutes).
In a large bowl, whisk 6 large eggs until light and frothy.
Whisk in 2 cups whole milk, 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg, salt, and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Stir in the crumbled bacon, cooked shallots, and 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese.
Cut 1 pound of day-old crusty bread into 1-inch cubes. Place in a large bowl.
Pour the egg mixture over the bread cubes, ensuring all pieces are coated. Gently toss to combine.
Scrape the bread mixture into the prepared slow cooker.
Press the bread cubes down into the liquid to submerge them.
Sprinkle 1/2 cup grated Gruyere cheese evenly over the top.
Cover and cook on high for 1-1.5 hours, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean. Cooking time may vary depending on your slow cooker; check for doneness after 1 hour.
Let rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. Serve warm, scooping directly from the slow cooker.
