Preheat your oven to 180ยฐC (350ยฐF). Grease a medium-sized baking dish (approx. 20x20cm) with butter.
๐ก ์ ๋ฌธ๊ฐ ํ: Using slightly stale bread helps it absorb the custard mixture without becoming too mushy. - 2
In a frying pan, cook the chopped bacon until crispy. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving the rendered fat in the pan.
โฑ๏ธ 8-10 minutes - 3
Add the chopped onion to the bacon fat in the pan and sautรฉ until softened and translucent.

In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, half of the grated cheese, chopped chives, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- 7
Pour about half of the egg mixture over the bacon and onion layer.
๐ก ์ ๋ฌธ๊ฐ ํ: This helps to moisten the bread. - 8
Arrange the remaining Blaa halves on top, then pour the rest of the egg mixture evenly over the entire dish.

Sprinkle the remaining grated cheese over the top.
๐ก ์ ๋ฌธ๊ฐ ํ: The cheese will create a lovely golden crust. - 10
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the custard is set and the top is golden brown and bubbly.
