Ingredients

  • 3 no-cook lasagna noodles

  • 1 teaspoon grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Layer with one lasagna noodle, 3 tablespoons cheese sauce, half the egg mixture and another lasagna noodle. Layer with 3 tablespoons cheese sauce, ricotta cheese and remaining egg mixture. Top with the third noodle, remaining cheese sauce and reserved bacon mixture.
  • 4. Bake until bubbly, 10-15 minutes. Cool 5 minutes before cutting.
