Step by step recipe

1	Peel 500 g onion.
2	Slice thinly.
3	Melt 50 g butter in a frying pan on medium heat, then add the sliced onions, salt and pepper.
4	Fry until just starting to brown. Set aside.
5	Using the same pan, pour in 1 tablespoon olive oil. When very hot, add 200 g small pieces of bacon and fry as you like it.
6	When the bacon is cooked, add the onions and mix well.
7	Add 2 tablespoons cream, mix well, leave for a few minutes to thicken, then check the seasoning.
8	Preheat the oven to 390°F (200°C). 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.
