• Cover and keep in a warm place for twenty minutes until the dough rises.
• Preheat the oven to 225°C.
• Sautée the onion'rings' with the bacon in a large skillet, until the onions are transparent, and soft, but not caramelized.
• This should take about 10-15 minutes.
• In a seperate bowl, mix the eggs, the creme fraiche, the nutmeg, and pepper together with a whisk until well incorporated and smooth.
• Roll the dough out into a flat, large roasting pan (you want something with a slight edge to it) and then pour the onion and bacon mixture over the dough and spread it out to cover the dough evenly.
• Pour the egg-creme fraich mixture over the top and put it in the oven for 30-40 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
