Ingredients:
For the meat base:

1 lb (500g) ground beef

1 medium onion, finely chopped

2 garlic cloves, minced

3.5 oz (100g) bacon, chopped

1 tbsp sugar-free tomato paste (optional)

Salt and pepper to taste

For the creamy egg mixture:

4 large eggs

¾ cup (200 ml) heavy cream

1 ½ cups (150g) shredded cheddar cheese

½ cup (50g) shredded mozzarella cheese

1 tsp Dijon mustard (optional)

½ tsp paprika or chili powder

Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the meat

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the chopped bacon until crispy. Remove and set aside.

In the same pan (using the bacon fat), sauté the onion and garlic for 2-3 minutes.

Add the ground beef and cook until browned. Season with salt, pepper, and tomato paste if using.

Drain excess fat if needed and set aside.

Step 2: Make the egg mixture

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream.

Stir in half of the shredded cheddar, all of the mozzarella, Dijon mustard, and paprika. Mix well.

Step 3: Assemble & bake

Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C).

In a greased baking dish, layer the cooked beef mixture evenly.

Pour the egg and cheese mixture over the beef.

Sprinkle the remaining cheddar and cooked bacon on top.

Bake for 25–30 minutes or until the top is golden and the center is set.

Serving Suggestions

Serve with a side salad or roasted vegetables.

Add sugar-free pickles or sliced tomatoes on the side for a cheeseburger-style plate.

Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 2 months.

Variations

Vegetarian Option: Replace beef with sautéed mushrooms and zucchini.

Spicy Kick: Add jalapeños or hot sauce to the egg mixture.
