Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Cook bacon in a 10-inch cast iron skillet over medium-high until crispy, about 6 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel.

  2. Step 2

    Pour off all but 1 tbsp bacon fat. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden and softened, about 4 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Whisk eggs with cream, salt, and pepper in a bowl until smooth. Crumble in bacon and stir gently.

  4. Step 4

    Pour egg mixture into the skillet. Scatter gruyère on top and let it set over medium heat for 2 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Transfer skillet to a 400°F oven and bake until edges are set but center still jiggles slightly, about 6 minutes.

  6. Step 6

    Remove from oven. Let rest 2 minutes, then slide onto a cutting board and serve warm in wedges.
