One Tray Bake
- 1
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
- 2
On a large lined oven tray (or deep sheet pan), combine diced potatoes, bell peppers, and onion.
- 3
Toss with 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp garlic powder, and 1 tsp smoked paprika. Spread out in an even layer and roast for 20 minutes.

While the veggies roast, mix the beef mince in a bowl with 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp sage, ½ tsp thyme, 1 tsp onion powder, 1 tsp garlic powder, ½ tsp black pepper, ½ tsp oregano, and 1 tsp smoked paprika.
- 5
After 20 minutes, remove the tray, stir the veggies, and add the seasoned beef mince and diced bacon directly to the same tray. Break up the mince into small chunks and mix lightly with the veggies.

Return to the oven and roast for another 15–20 minutes, or until the beef is browned and fully cooked.
- 7
Meanwhile, whisk together the eggs, cottage cheese, cornflour, and a pinch of salt in a bowl.

Once the beef is cooked, make 10 shallow wells across the tray. Pour the egg mixture evenly into the gaps or over the top, depending on space.
