A delicious and filling pie with a creamy cheese omelet filling, a crispy flaky crust, and a crunchy bacon lattice. This pie is quite easy to make for breakfast if you already have some puff pastry for the crust. Fill the crust with a beaten egg, cream, and plenty of cheese, then top with bacon. Assemble the bacon lattice separately and pre-bake it to set before transferring it to the half-baked pie. This will ensure your bacon turns out crispy and doesn't get lost in the omelet.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:
- Preheat oven to 200°C.
- Lay 5 strips of bacon in parallel rows on a baking sheet, making sure the edges touch but don't overlap. Next, working with one strip at a time, arrange the remaining strips perpendicular to the first, interlacing them at the top and bottom to form a lattice.
- Spray an 8-inch (20-cm) square baking pan with cooking spray. Roll out the puff pastry into a 12 x 12-inch (30 x 30-cm) square and press it into the bottom and up the sides of the prepared pan. Trim any excess dough with a knife. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cheese, 1 teaspoon of salt, and a pinch of ground black pepper until combined. Pour the mixture onto the puff pastry. Bake the bacon and egg rack until the bacon is crispy and the eggs are still slightly runny but set in the center, about 15 minutes.
- Using two spatulas, lift the bacon rack and place it on top of the eggs. Continue baking until the bacon is golden brown and crispy and the eggs are completely set, about 25 minutes. The eggs will rise considerably (but will fall as the pie cools). Let sit for 10 minutes, then serve.
