🥘 Grandma’s Rustic Macaroni Egg Bake

📝 Ingredients

• Macaroni – 350 g (any pasta can be used, though macaroni keeps it traditional)
• Eggs – 4 (beaten)
• Grated cheese – 70 g
• Sliced cheese – 4 slices
• Salt & pepper – to taste
• Olive or vegetable oil – as needed

🍴 Step-by-Step Instructions

Cook the Pasta
Boil the macaroni in salted water until just tender. Drain well and toss lightly with a bit of oil to keep it from sticking.

Prepare the Egg Mixture
Beat the eggs until smooth and season with salt and pepper. For extra richness, you can add a splash of milk or cream if desired.

Build the First Layer
Heat a little oil in a large pan over medium heat. Spread half of the pasta evenly across the pan. Pour the eggs over it, sprinkle with grated cheese, and add the sliced cheese for a soft, melty center.

Add the Top Layer
Cover with the remaining pasta. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and cook for about 10 minutes until the eggs are set and the bottom becomes crisp.
Tip: Keep the heat low to prevent burning while the inside cooks through.

Flip and Finish Cooking
Carefully flip the bake using a spatula or a plate. Cook the other side for another 8–10 minutes until golden and crisp.
If flipping all at once is tricky, cut into sections and turn each piece individually.

Serve
Top with extra grated cheese if you like, then slice and serve warm. It pairs nicely with a fresh salad or roasted vegetables.

✨ Result: A warm, cheesy macaroni bake with crispy edges, soft layers, and comforting, nostalgic flavor in every bite.
