• 7: Add 2 tablespoons cream, mix well, leave for a few minutes to thicken, then check the seasoning.

  Use a round tin, preferably spring-form or loose bottomed. Scatter a little grated cheese in the bottom.
• 9: Lay a pancake in the tin, trimming the edges if it doesn't fit.
• 10: Spread a little of the onion-bacon-cream filling on top.
• 11: Add another pancake and repeat the operation until you have used up all the pancakes and filling.
• 12: Finish with a little grated cheese.
• 13: Bake for about 20 to 30 minutes...
• 14: ...until the top pancake is nicely browned.
• 15: Turn out upside down and serve hot, cut into portions like a pie.

Remarks

You can make the pie deeper by using more than 6 pancakes. If you do this, remember to make more of the onion-bacon-cream filling.
