Grandma’s Rustic Macaroni Egg Bake
Ingredients
Macaroni – 350 g (any pasta works, but macaroni gives the classic feel)
Eggs – 4 (whisked)
Grated cheese – 70 g (adds creaminess)
Sliced cheese – 4 slices (for a gooey center)
Salt & pepper – to taste
Olive or vegetable oil – as needed
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Cook the Pasta
Boil macaroni in salted water until just tender. Drain and lightly toss with olive oil to prevent sticking. - Make the Egg Mixture
Whisk the eggs until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. (Optional: add a splash of milk or cream for extra richness.) - Create the First Layer
Heat oil in a large pan over medium heat. Spread half the pasta evenly. Pour over the eggs, sprinkle with grated cheese, and place sliced cheese on top for a melty layer. - Add the Second Layer
Top with the remaining pasta. Lower the heat, cover, and cook for about 10 minutes until the eggs set and the bottom becomes crisp.
Tip: Keep the heat low to avoid burning. - Flip and Finish
Carefully turn the bake using a spatula or plate. Cook the other side for 8–10 minutes until golden and crispy.
(If flipping is difficult, cut into pieces and flip individually.) - Serve
Sprinkle with extra grated cheese if desired. Slice and serve warm. Pairs well with a fresh salad or roasted vegetables.
Result: A comforting, cheesy macaroni bake with crispy edges, soft layers, and nostalgic flavor in every bite.
