Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat a 10-inch cast iron or nonstick skillet over medium-high. Cook bacon until crispy, about 6 minutes, then chop and set aside.

  2. Step 2

    Pour off all but 1 tbsp bacon fat. Sauté diced onion until soft and golden, about 3 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Whisk eggs with cream, salt, and pepper in a bowl until smooth. Stir in cheese, bacon, and thyme.

  4. Step 4

    Pour egg mixture into the skillet with the onion. Stir gently to distribute, then smooth the top.

  5. Step 5

    Transfer skillet to a 375°F oven (or broiler). Bake until edges are set but center still jiggles slightly, 7–8 minutes.

  6. Step 6

    Let cool 2 minutes. Garnish with fresh thyme or chives. Slice into wedges and serve.
