Baked Minced Meat Omelette

For my first recipe, I am sharing a classy take on the famous Filipino dish Tortang Giniling. Usually pan-fried and sometimes fried between banana leaves for easy flipping. However, my version does not include the dreaded flipping because it is baked like a pie.

Here are the ingredients:

500 grams minced meat

1 large carrot, diced

1 large potato, diced

1 medium-sized onion, minced

Quarter of medium-sized cabbage

3 cloves garlic

Salt and pepper to taste

Vegetable oil for sautéing

4 eggs, beaten

Cheese for topping (optional)

Parsley flakes for garnish (optional)

  

Procedure:

1. Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius.

2. In a skillet, sauté garlic and onion.

3. Add in the carrots and potatoes.

4. When the potatoes are already half-cooked, add the meat. Season with salt and pepper.

5. Add the cabbage.

6. Set this aside and let it cool.

7. In a mixing bowl of beaten eggs, pour in this cooled mixture. Stir until all the ingredients are incorporated.

8. Transfer the mixture into a pie baking dish. Top with cheese and bake it for about 30 minutes or after a successful toothpick test.

9. Garnish with parsley flakes.

Serve hot with rice with your favorite condiment. Alternatively, you can eat it as a cheesy meat and vegetable pie.

This can serve 6 to 8 persons.

Cheers!
