Ingredients

8 servings

6 strips bacon
Chef's tip
Cook it like regular bacon. It's leaner and releases little fat, so add a splash of oil to the pan if needed.
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tbsp baking powder
½ tsp fine salt
¼ tsp black pepper
¼ tsp garlic powder
6 tbsp unsalted butter, frozen
1 ½ cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
Chef's tip
Shred it and warm it gently; dairy-free cheddar melts best baked into a dish.
2 scallions, thinly sliced (green tops only)
¾ cup cold heavy cream, plus more for brushing
1 large egg, cold

Instructions

1
Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat, turning occasionally, until the fat is rendered and the strips are crisp, about 8–10 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate and let cool completely, then chop into small pieces.
2
Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
