Steps:
- Bring a pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the macaroni and cook for 8 to 9 minutes, until al dente. Drain.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- In a small saucepan heat the milk with the thyme sprigs and 2 garlic cloves. Melt the butter in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for about 1 minute, stirring constantly, to keep lumps from forming. Strain the solids out of the milk and whisk it into the butter and flour mixture. Continue to whisk vigorously, and cook until the mixture is nice and smooth. Stir in the 4 cups of the cheese and continue to cook and stir to melt the cheese. Season with salt and pepper. Add the cooked macaroni and the parsley and fold that all in to coat the macaroni with the cheese mixture. Scrape into a 3-quart baking dish and sprinkle with the remaining 1 1/2 cups cheese. Bake for 30 minutes, or until hot and bubbly.
- While that bakes, heat a saute pan. Add the bacon, render the fat and cook until crispy. Add onion, garlic and thyme leaves and cook for about 5 minutes to soften the onion. Season with salt and pepper.
- To serve, scatter the bacon mixture over the mac and cheese. Use a big spoon to scoop out servings, making sure you get some of the smoking bacon mixture on each spoonful.

Steps:
- Preheat the broiler to high and position a rack in the top third of the oven.
- Put the bacon in a 12-inch nonstick ovenproof skillet and place over medium heat. Cook, stirring often with a rubber spatula, until the bacon is crispy and golden brown, about 10 minutes. Remove the bacon to a plate with a slotted spoon and remove all but 2 tablespoons of the bacon fat from the skillet. Add the red onion to the skillet along with the hash browns. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon salt and spread the mixture evenly over the bottom of the skillet. Cook, undisturbed, until the potatoes are beginning to brown and get crispy, about 3 minutes. Stir the potato mixture with a rubber spatula. Re-spread the mixture evenly on the bottom of the skillet and cook, undisturbed, to brown a bit more, another 2 minutes. Add the kale and another 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook until the kale is wilted, another 2 minutes. Stir in the reserved bacon.
- Meanwhile, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream and remaining 3/4 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Add the grated cheeses. Add the egg mixture to the skillet and stir to combine. Cook, stirring occasionally with a rubber spatula, until the mixture looks like loose scrambled eggs, about 2 minutes. Cook, undisturbed, to set the bottom, about 1 minute longer. Place the skillet under the broiler until the top is golden brown and the eggs are set, 3 to 4 minutes. Allow to cool for 5 minutes before slicing into wedges and serving.
