Steps

15min

1

Using the olive oil, fry of all the bacon until crispy. Then set the bacon aside.
2

Remove some of the bacon fat from the frying pan, don't discard.
3

Fry the onion in the pan until light brown. Now add the rest of the bacon fat.
4

Put your plate on a low heat and whisk in the flour.
5

Begin adding the cream bit by bit, whisking it constantly so that it doesn't get lumpy, now do the same with the milk. Stop adding milk when it reaches a gravy like consistency, or add more if it's too thick.
6

Chop up the bacon and add to the gravy. Add the salt and pepper and simmer for 5 minutes while stirring.
