Ingredients
  

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup (56g / 1.98 oz) shredded Cheddar Cheese
  • 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 4 stalks chives, finely chopped, plus more for garnish
  • 2.5 tsp (12g / 0.42 oz) lard or butter, for greasing
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • To prevent condensation from dripping onto the eggs, place a clean paper towel under the lid of the slow cooker before closing it.
  • For creamier eggs, add a splash of milk or heavy cream (about 1/4 cup / 960 ml) to the egg mixture before whisking.
  • This casserole can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. It reheats beautifully in the microwave.

Method
 

  1. Directions
  2. Generously grease the inside of your slow cooker pot with lard or butter.
  3. Sprinkle the cooked, crumbled bacon and chopped chives evenly over the bottom.
  4. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
  5. In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs until the yolks and whites are fully combined.
  6. Stir in the shredded Cheddar cheese.
  7. Pour the egg and cheese mixture evenly over the bacon and chives in the slow cooker.
  8. Cover with the lid and cook on LOW for 4 to 6 hours, or until the eggs are set in the center.
  9. Garnish with additional chopped chives and serve hot.
