Ingredients
Instructions
Place the dough in a baking pan. Flatten it so that it sticks to the base and the wall of the baking pan.
Prick with a fork. Place dried beans on top of the dough and bake at 356 °F (180 °C) for 10 minutes.
Remove from the oven, remove the vegetables and let stand.
Meanwhile, chop the onion. Set aside.
Place a pan over medium heat and add the oil. Next, add the previously chopped onion. Mix and cook for 10 minutes over low heat.
Place another pan over medium heat and add the butter. Add the bacon and cook until it changes color, it should not be toasted.
Once the bacon is done, remove and add the onion. Let both ingredients cook over low heat for 5 minutes.
In a bowl, place the eggs with the cream and beat. Add nutmeg, salt and pepper to the mixture.
Pour over the pan with the bacon and stir at the same time. Stir in the cheese, mix and let cool.
Place the mixture on the pan and bake at 356 °F (180 °C) for 25 minutes.
Let stand for 5 minutes and serve.
