Preheat oven to 180°C/350°F (all oven types).
-
Grease cake tin: Generously grease a 20cm/8″ springform cake tin with butter (cake pan without loose sides also ok, also see Note 3 re: leakage risk).
-
Fill: Pour the bread mixture into the cake tin, pat down to compress. Scatter with reserved uncooked bacon and remaining 1/2 cup of cheese. Cover loosely with foil.
-
Bake for 25 minutes, then remove the lid and bake for a further 15 – 20 minutes until golden on top and a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean (no raw egg).
-
Rest & slice: Allow to rest for 5 minutes before removing the springform or turning out. Garnish with parsley if using. Cut into slices to serve. Be civil and eat it on a plate with a fork, or just use your hands!
