Since I was using a slightly smaller dish, I did start checking the oven a little sooner, but unlike last week, the change in size didn\u2019t seem to affect the cooking time.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, I frickin\u2019 loved this recipe.<\/p>\n<p>I am glad I read it the night before I planned to make the Yorkshire pudding, because the batter should be made the night before (and up to three nights before). It was really quick, so it wasn\u2019t a problem, but it would have been had I checked it Saturday morning.<\/p>\n<p>My only two notes for the next time (or, more importantly, for readers):<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The recipe recommends cooking the bacon for about 8 minutes before adding the batter. It didn\u2019t look quite done so I did it for a minute or two longer \u2026 but I didn\u2019t realize that much of the bacon would continue to cook slightly in the oven, so it was quite well done and this is coming from someone who likes her bacon extra crunchy. Next time, let it cook for 8 minutes (or until mostly done) and call it good enough.<\/li>\n<li>Honestly, and this is just a taste thing for me, I would skip making the fried eggs to serve on top, and instead use the optional Hollandaise sauce that I skipped. I enjoy a fried egg just fine, but it\u2019s nothing special to me (unless served on top of fried potatoes with hot sauce), and I also frickin\u2019 love Hollandaise. I should have included it, but it was optional and I was lazy. But for my tastes, I\u2019d rather enjoy this bread-y treat with an eggy sauce than with just eggs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The only other thing I know for next time is that there will be a next time.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_645\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-645\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-645\" src=\"http:\/\/christiniacrippes.com\/food\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/20200117_181754-300x271.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"271\" srcset=\"http:\/\/christiniacrippes.com\/food\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/20200117_181754-300x271.jpg 300w, http:\/\/christiniacrippes.com\/food\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/20200117_181754-768x694.jpg 768w, http:\/\/christiniacrippes.com\/food\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/20200117_181754-1024x925.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/christiniacrippes.com\/food\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/20200117_181754.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-645\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Eggy pudding with 2 eggs.

Once warmed, add the diced bacon. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until crisp and mostly browned, about 8 minutes (don\u2019t overcook; it will continue to cook a bit in the oven).<\/p>\n<p>Pour prepared batter into the skillet once bacon is ready and immediately transfer to oven.<\/p>\n<p>Bake until the batter is puffed, and deep brown and crispy, about 20 to 25 minutes (I started checking at 15 minutes for my 9-inch braiser; it was fine but best to err on the side of caution and check earlier if using 9-inch skillet).<\/p>\n<p>About 5 minutes before pudding is ready, sprinkle on the Parmesan (if using). At about the same time, begin to prepare the (4) fried eggs to your liking (if using) and\/or the Hollandaise sauce (if using).
