How to Make Norwegian Bacon And Egg Cake

  1. Fry 4-6 slices of bacon in a large, heavy skillet over medium heat until almost crisp. Remove bacon and set aside on a plate lined with paper towels to drain.
  2. Preheat oven to 200°F (93°C). Place bacon on a plate in the oven to keep warm.
  3. Pour off all but 1 tablespoon of bacon fat from the skillet.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs, 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper until just combined.
  5. Gradually whisk in 1/2 cup half-and-half until the mixture is smooth and frothy.
  6. Add any desired vegetables (e.g., 1/2 cup chopped onions, 1/2 cup chopped bell peppers), cheeses (e.g., 1/2 cup shredded cheddar), sausage (e.g., 1/4 cup cooked crumbled sausage), or herbs (e.g., 2 tablespoons chopped chives) to the egg mixture.
  7. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the bacon fat.
  8. Reduce heat to low and cook for approximately 15-20 minutes, or until the egg mixture is set and lightly golden on the bottom. You may cover the skillet for the first 10 minutes to help cook evenly.
  9. Remove from heat and top with the reserved bacon slices and additional fresh chives or green onions (1 tablespoon chopped).
  10. Let the cake rest for 5 minutes before slicing into wedges and serving.
