Ingredients
- 8 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 6 slices bacon
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chives or parsley (chopped, optional for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon butter or oil (for greasing the pan)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch round baking dish or oven-safe skillet with butter or oil, ensuring the sides are well-coated to prevent sticking.
Step 2
In a medium skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet and set it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into small pieces and set aside.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and flour until smooth and well combined. Add the salt and black pepper, and whisk again to combine.
Step 4
Pour the egg mixture into the prepared baking dish or skillet. Sprinkle the crumbled bacon evenly over the top.
Step 5
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the egg cake is puffed up, golden brown on the edges, and set in the middle. You can test doneness by inserting a knife into the center; it should come out clean.
Step 6
Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Slice into wedges, garnish with chopped chives or parsley if desired, and serve warm. Enjoy your authentic Danish Aeggkage!
