Ingredients
  • 3/4 pound Ground beef
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese -- divided

  5. 5
    Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the shredded mozzarella cheese and 1/4 cup of the parmesan cheese.
  6. 6

Note

Although tagged as a dessert in the source metadata, this is a savory main course dish containing ground beef and tomatoes. It is best served warm or at room temperature.

Ensure the skillet is oven-safe if you prefer to brown the top in the oven for the last 5 minutes, though stovetop cooking works well if heat is kept very low.

The "pie" structure relies on the eggs setting. If the mixture seems too loose after cooking, let it stand longer before turning it out.

For easier cleanup and cleaner edges, you can line a springform pan with parchment paper and assemble the pie in it, then invert onto a platter.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or oven.
