Tips:

• Choose Quality Beef Mince: Opt for lean beef mince with low fat content for a healthier dish.
• Browning the Meat: When baking the meat layer, allow it to develop a nice golden brown color for added flavor and texture.
• Drain Excess Juices: Dabbing up excess juices after baking the meat layer helps prevent the dish from becoming too watery.
• Sautéed Onions: Ensure the onions are well caramelized during sautéing; This enhances their natural sweetness and adds depth to the dish.
• Blending the Cottage Cheese Mixture: Blend the cottage cheese and eggs until perfectly smooth for a creamy texture in your bake.
• Layering: When layering, spread each component evenly to distribute flavors throughout the dish.
• Cheese on Top: The cheddar cheese on top should be evenly distributed for a golden, cheesy crust.
• Baking Time: Keep an eye on the bake during the final 30 minutes to ensure it doesn’t overcook. It should be set and lightly golden.
• Resting Period: Allowing the dish to rest for 10 minutes after baking helps it to firm up, making it easier to slice and serve.
• Serving: Pair the dish with a fresh side salad.
