Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • 200g thick-cut speck, kaiserfleisch, pancetta or just good old smoked bacon, cut into 5mm batons
  • 1 bunch broccolini, halved lengthways
  • 1 cup (250ml) milk
  • 1/2 cup (125ml) thickened cream
  • 2 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 4 eggs
  • 1/2 cup (75g) self-raising flour
  • 1 tbs chopped chives
  • 1 cup (80g) coarsely grated Gruyere, comte or vintage cheddar

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 200°C. Grease a 5cm-deep, 26cm-round ovenproof dish.
  • Heat the oil in a non-stick frypan over medium-high heat. Add the speck and cook for 5 minutes or until golden. Place in the greased dish.
  • Add the broccolini to the frypan with a splash of water. Cover and cook 2 minutes or until bright and tender. Transfer to a plate.
  • Combine the milk, cream, mustard and eggs in a jug. Season. Combine the flour and chives in a large bowl. Gradually whisk the milk mixture into the flour until well combined. Stir in the cheese. Pour into the greased dish on top of the bacon.
  • Distribute the broccolini evenly over the surface, gently pressing it into the egg mixture, then give the dish a little wiggle to settle the mixture. Bake for 30 minutes or until golden and just set.
  • Eat and wonder!
