Instructions

1. Cut the bread into 2 cm cubes and the bacon and onion into small dice.
2. Melt the bacon in a pan with the lard, add the onion and let it brown for 8 minutes.
3. In a bowl, whisk the eggs with the sour cream, milk, salt and pepper.
4. Mix the bread, bacon and onions in a buttered gratin dish, then pour the egg mixture over the top.
5. Let it rest for 10 minutes so the bread soaks it up, then sprinkle with Gruyère if you're using it.
6. Bake at 190 °C for 25 minutes, until the top is golden and set, then serve warm with the parsley.
