Cheesy potato and bacon lasagne bake - a crowd-pleasing twist on a classic favorite.
Ingredients:
  • 4 middle bacon rashers, rinds removed
  • 1.5kg large sebago potatoes, peeled, sliced lengthways into 5mm-thick slices
  • 200g (2 cups) coarsely grated mozzarella
  • White pepper, to season
  • 300ml carton pouring cream
  • 125ml (1/2 cup) milk
  • 2 eggs, lightly whisked
Instructions:
  • Preheat oven to 170C/150C fan forced and grease a 20cm-square baking dish. Coarsely chop 3 bacon rashers, reserving 1 for later. Cook chopped bacon in a non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes until crisp.
  • Start by arranging a layer of potatoes at the bottom of the dish. Follow it with half of the bacon and one-third of the cheese. Drizzle a quarter of the cream over it. Season with salt and white pepper. Add another layer of potatoes, the remaining bacon, half of the remaining mozzarella, and another third of the cream. Finally, top it off with the last layer of potatoes.
  • In a bowl, combine milk, egg, and the rest of the cream. Season with salt and white pepper. Pour over the potato, layer with remaining mozzarella, and top with large pieces of the reserved bacon. Cover with baking paper and foil, then bake for 55 minutes until potato is nearly tender. Uncover and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until golden and bubbly. Let it rest for 10 minutes before serving.
