Layers of crispy bacon, tender onions, hard-boiled eggs, and creamy Swiss cheese nestled between lasagna noodles, all bathed in a luscious half-and-half cream sauce.

Ingredients:

1 pound bacon 🥓
1 large onion, finely chopped 🧅
1/3 cup all-purpose flour 🌾
1 teaspoon salt 🧂
1/4 teaspoon black pepper 🌶️
4 cups half-and-half cream 🥛
12 hard-boiled eggs, sliced 🥚
12 lasagna noodles, cooked and drained 🍝
2 cups shredded Swiss cheese 🧀

Instructions:

Step	Description
1	Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
2	Grease a 13×9 inch baking dish generously with cooking spray or butter.
3	Cook Bacon: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until it’s nice and crisp. Remove the bacon from the skillet and drain it on paper towels to remove excess grease. Once cooled, chop the bacon into bite-sized pieces.
4	Saute Onions: In the same skillet with the bacon drippings, sauté the finely chopped onions until they become translucent and tender.
5	Prepare Sauce: Stir in the all-purpose flour, salt, and black pepper into the onions until everything is well combined. Gradually pour in the half-and-half cream, stirring continuously to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium-low heat, stirring constantly. Let it cook for about 2 minutes until it thickens slightly. Remove the sauce from the heat and set it aside.
6	Assemble Lasagna: Spread a generous 1/2 cup of the creamy sauce on the bottom of the prepared baking dish, creating a nice base for the lasagna.
7	Layer 1: Arrange four cooked lasagna noodles over the sauce in the dish, overlapping slightly if needed.
8	Layer 2: Now, it’s time to create the first delicious layer! Sprinkle one-third of the chopped bacon and onions evenly over the noodles. Follow this with a layer of sliced hard-boiled eggs, distributing them evenly. Top this with a generous sprinkling of Swiss cheese.
9	Layer 3: Repeat the layers with another set of four lasagna noodles, another one-third of the bacon and onions, another layer of sliced eggs, and more Swiss cheese.
10	Layer 4: For the final layer, add the last four lasagna noodles on top. Pour the remaining creamy sauce over the noodles, ensuring it covers the entire surface. Sprinkle the top generously with the remaining Swiss cheese for that golden, gooey finish.
11	Bake: Place the assembled lasagna, uncovered, in the preheated oven. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is beautifully golden brown and the sauce is bubbly around the edges.
12	Rest and Serve: Once out of the oven, allow the Bacon and Egg Lasagna to rest for about 15 minutes before slicing into it. This helps the layers set and makes it easier to serve. Then, cut into generous squares, serve up with a sprinkle of fresh parsley if desired, and enjoy the rich, comforting flavors!
