Step 1: Cook the bacon and onion
Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a large skillet, cook the bacon and onion over medium heat until the bacon is crisp, then drain.

Bake, uncovered, until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes. Let the casserole stand for 10 minutes before cutting. Letting the casserole rest for a few minutes allows it to firm up.
Recipe Variations
Switch it up with sausage: Replace half or all of the bacon with chopped or crumbled plain, breakfast or Italian sausage.
Heap on some herbs: Create a pretty burst of color and fresh flavor by adding a pinch of minced herbs to the egg mixture. Thyme and parsley are perfect candidates; try 1 teaspoon fresh or 1/4 teaspoon dried.
Pack in the veggies: If you like it spicy, add in a can of drained green chile peppers. Use 1/2 to 1 cup of sauteed chopped bell pepper for sweet flavor. Chopped broccoli, asparagus or spinach also work well. Saute them in advance to remove some of the moisture (this prevents soggy casserole!).
