Patranque (Bread And Bacon Pancake From France)

Patranque (Bread And Bacon Pancake From France)


1. Remove the crusts from the bread & crumble coarsely. If the bread is very stale, it may be softened w/a sml amt of water. Slice cheese thinly. Set the bread & cheese aside.

2. Cut the bacon into very sml pieces & cook in a non-stick frying pan over mod-heat till they are completely transparent & begin to crisp.

3. Add bread to the pan & stir about to soak up the fat from the bacon & break up more.

4. Add garlic. When it begins to brown, add cheese slices & stir well.

5. Reduce heat, add salt & pepper to taste & allow to brown for about 10 minutes.

6. When a crust has formed, turn pancake using a spatula & a plate so the other side can brown for 5-10 minutes.

7. Slide pancake onto a plate, divide in 4 portions & serve immediately.

8. SERVING SUGGESTION: Just a green salad was suggested, but I see mushrooms sauteed in garlic as another good choice to accompany this dish w/the salad.
