  • 1 1/8 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/3 cup green onion thinly sliced
  • 3 tbsp fresh thyme leaves chopped, or 1 tbsp dry thyme leaves
  • 3 tbsp vegetable oil canola or avacado
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 cup Orchard Choice or Sun-Maid California Figs stemmed and thinly sliced
  • 4 slices bacon cooked, drained and chopped (optional)
  • 3/4 cup Parmesan cheese or asiago, shredded fresh

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425° F.
  • In blender or food processor, combine eggs and milk. Process briefly to combine. Add flour, pepper and salt. Process to blend. Stir in green onion and thyme (or add to blender and pulse once or twice).
