Step 1
Cook bacon in a 10-inch cast iron skillet over medium-high until crispy, about 6 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel.
Step 2
Pour off all but 1 tbsp bacon fat. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden and softened, about 4 minutes.
Step 3
Whisk eggs with cream, salt, and pepper in a bowl until smooth. Crumble in bacon and stir gently.
Step 4
Pour egg mixture into the skillet. Scatter gruyère on top and let it set over medium heat for 2 minutes.
Step 5
Transfer skillet to a 400°F oven and bake until edges are set but center still jiggles slightly, about 6 minutes.
Step 6
Remove from oven. Let rest 2 minutes, then slide onto a cutting board and serve warm in wedges.
