Ingredients

  • 175 g bacon
  • 1 large onion, finely diced
  • 250 g broccoli, cooked in small florets
  • 90 g butter or 90 g margarine
  • 1/3 cup flour
  • pepper
  • 2 cups milk
  • 4 large eggs, seperated

Method

  • Preheat oven to 170 degrees Celsius.
  • Remove rind from bacon and chop finely.
  • Place in well greased pan with the onion and fry until cooked, then drain and set aside.
  • Make a white sauce with the butter, flour, seasonings and milk; add half the cheese and set aside, covered for 5 minutes.
  • Beat egg whites until stiff, carefully fold into the sauce, mixing until no streaks remain - do not over beat.
  • Spoon into a lined, greased and flour-dusted large swiss roll pan and bake for 40 45 minutes.
  • In the meantime, scatter the buscuit crumbs over a large sheet of greaseproof paper. Gently mix the bacon, onion, broccoli and remaining cheese together.
