Servings 8 servings
Calories 584kcal
Ingredients
- 2 pounds grass-fed ground beef
- 1 cup onion chopped
- 1 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil (only if lean ground beef is used)
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 4 large eggs
- 1.5 cups heavy cream
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1.5 cups cheddar cheese shredded
- crispy bacon, pickles, tomato on top to serve optional
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
- Place ground beef, onion and oil to a large cast iron skillet (or see above instructions for using a 9 inch pie plate). Cook over medium high heat until beef is browned and onions are tender. Depending on the fat percentage of ground beef chosen, if there is excess grease, feel free to remove some the frying pan. Sprinkle salt and pepper and turn off heat.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, cream, baking powder and one cup of the cheddar cheese. (Save the 1/2 cup to sprinkle over the top.) Pour this mixture into the ground beef in the skillet and stir together until nicely combined. Sprinkle the rest of the cheddar over the top and place skillet in the oven.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes until browned around the edges and center is puffed, golden and knife in center comes out clean. Allow to cool about 10 minutes then slice and enjoy.
