Ingredients

Crust
- 2 cups sifted wheat flour (220 g)
- ½ cup unsalted butter, cubed (100 g)
- 1 pinch salt
Filling
- 200 g diced bacon
- 3 slightly beaten eggs (150 g)
- 2 cups Parmesan cheese (200 g)
- 2 ½ cups heavy cream (300 ml)
- 1 pinch nutmeg

Modo de preparo

Make the crust: in a bowl, place the flour, butter, and salt, and mix with your fingertips until you get a moist, crumbly texture. With your hands, knead quickly until you have a uniform dough. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 45 minutes.
Line the bottom and sides of a springform pan (21 cm in diameter) and prick the bottom with a fork.
Bake in a medium oven (180 degrees), preheated, for 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, prepare the filling: in a small saucepan, place the bacon and fry in its own fat for 5 minutes, or until golden. Drain the bacon and let it cool.
In a medium bowl, place the bacon and add the eggs, Parmesan, cream, and nutmeg. Whisk lightly with a wire whisk (fouet) until homogeneous.
Pour the filling into the crust and return to the medium oven (180 degrees) for another 45 minutes, or until the filling sets and turns golden on top.
Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before unmolding. Serve.
