📝 Instructions:
- In an 8-inch skillet, work your culinary magic by crisping up the bacon until it reaches the perfect level of crispiness. Drain the bacon, ensuring to reserve 2 tablespoons of those delicious drippings.
- Now, crumble the bacon into tantalizing, bite-sized pieces and set them aside, ready to make their grand entrance into the dish.
- Return to the skillet, where flavor is king! Combine the reserved drippings with the peeled, thinly sliced potatoes, green onions with tops, parsley, salt, dried thyme, and pepper. Seal the deal by covering the skillet tightly, allowing the symphony of flavors to harmonize over low heat until the potatoes are just tender, which will take approximately 20 to 25 minutes. Give it a gentle stir once or twice to ensure perfection.
- In a small bowl, let the eggs and milk dance together in a delightful union. Pour this heavenly mixture over the potato concoction, covering the skillet once more. Continue the culinary crescendo by cooking over very low heat until the eggs set in the center, a process that will take around 8 to 10 minutes.
- Armed with a wide spatula, carefully loosen the sides and bottom, letting the potato masterpiece gracefully slide onto a serving plate. Alternatively, embrace the skillet as your culinary canvas, presenting the dish directly from its source.
- The pièce de résistance! Sprinkle the crumbled bacon atop your creation, elevating it to a higher realm of flavor and texture.
- Finally, serve this Basque Shepherd’s Pie hot, letting the aroma and flavors captivate your senses.
Indulge in the Basque Shepherd’s Pie experience, where every bite is a harmonious blend of crispy bacon, tender potatoes, and the rich goodness of eggs. This recipe invites you to savor the joy of cooking, transforming simple ingredients into a culinary masterpiece that leaves a lasting impression on your taste buds. Bon appétit! 🍽️✨
