2. Place the bacon in a large frying pan and cook until crisp. Remove. Drain all the bacon grease, except 1 tablespoon.
3. Sauté the onion in the bacon grease for a few minutes, add the tomatoes and continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes.
4. Crack the eggs into a medium bowl and stir in the cream. Add salt to taste.
5. Add the eggs to the frying pan and cook on the soft side. Stir in bacon.
6. Stuff each chile with the egg mixture. Place ¼ cup of grated cheese on top and broil until melted. (If you do not have a broiler, you can melt the cheese in an oven.)
