Notes

For a flavor boost, consider adding a splash of white wine to the lardons and onions during cooking. To enhance richness, sprinkle some grated Gruyère cheese on top before baking. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 3 months (best added fresh cheese upon baking).
