Method
Tap a time to watch that step in the video.
- Cook the bacon until crisp (the cook air-fries it about 11 minutes; thin bacon cooks faster), then chop it. 1:10
- Meanwhile, brown the ground beef and pork in a pan with the saved bacon fat, breaking it up, and add a little salt if you like. 1:26
- Whisk the eggs with the cream, then stir in the mozzarella and cheddar. 2:55
- Tip the cooked meat and its fat into a baking dish, scatter over the bacon, pour the egg and cheese mixture on top and mix everything together. 5:44
- Bake (or air-fry) at 175°C (350°F) for 20–25 minutes, until the top is bubbling and lightly browned. 7:14
- Rest for 10–15 minutes before cutting into slices. 7:48
Tip. Serves 4 (our estimate); the cook says the recipe doubles easily for a bigger tray. No cheese? The cook swaps it for extra egg yolks and a spoon of tallow; to make it fully dairy-free, leave out the cream too. Keeps 3 days in the fridge.

Vitamin B12 High105%
2.5 µg a serve, mostly from ground beef (50%). Keeps nerves and blood cells healthy. Found almost only in animal foods and fortified foods (some plant milks, nutritional yeast), so vegans need a reliable source.
Selenium High95%
52 µg a serve, mostly from ground pork (32%). Part of the body's antioxidant enzymes and needed for thyroid hormones. Seafood, eggs, meat and Brazil nuts are rich sources.
Zinc High59%
6.5 mg a serve, mostly from ground beef (46%). Needed for immunity, wound healing, taste and growth. Meat, seafood, legumes, seeds and whole grains supply it.
Vitamin A High29%
