Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Ground Beef (700g) (75-25%)
- 6 pieces Bacon (chopped)
- 3 Eggs (large)
- 7 oz Cheddar Cheese (200g) (divided)
- 5 fl oz Double Cream / Heavy Cream (150ml) (I highly recommend this cream - amazon link)
- Butter (for greasing)
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
- Start by preheating the oven to 400°F (200°C) and greasing a frying pan with butter.
- Chop up three pieces of bacon. Add it to the pan with the ground beef, salt, and pepper. Cook everything until lightly browned.Transfer the cooked beef and bacon to a baking dish.
- Crack three eggs into a bowl and whisk. Add them to the baking dish on top of the meat, then add the double cream and half of the cheddar cheese. Mix well.
- Top the dish with the remaining grated cheese and three more chopped pieces of bacon.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes. Let it cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
Notes
The Cheese
Choose a full-fat, aged cheddar that feels firm, not soft. Older cheddar has less water, so it melts smoothly without turning oily.
Bagged shreds often have powder that keeps them from sticking, which also stops them from melting well, so grating your own or buying a good block is worth it.
When you add the cheese, spread it out so every bite melts the same and the pie slices cleanly.
Let the Pie Rest First!
It’s tough, but give the pie about 10–15 minutes to cool before cutting. During this pause, the eggs and cream finish setting, so the slices stay neat and the middle isn’t runny.
The cheese also firms up instead of flooding out, and the short rest lets the flavors come together- just like resting a steak makes it taste better.
