Something unusual happened last night at dinner - everybody liked it. I used half & half instead of whipping cream to lighten it up a bit so it was a little runnier than the original recipe would have been. Next time I will cook the bacon first since I like it a little crispy. Only spice I added was pepper but I have a similar recipe using some basil that might be good.
