Add the Top Layer
Cover with the remaining pasta. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and cook for about 10 minutes until the eggs are set and the underside turns crisp.
Tip: Keep the heat gentle to prevent scorching.
Flip and Finish Cooking
Carefully flip the bake using a wide spatula or invert it onto a plate, then slide it back into the pan. Cook the other side for 8–10 minutes until golden brown and crisp.
If flipping in one piece is tricky, cut it into sections and turn each piece separately.
Serve
Sprinkle with additional grated cheese if desired. Slice and serve warm. It pairs wonderfully with a simple green salad or roasted vegetables.
Outcome: A cozy, cheesy macaroni bake with crisp edges, tender layers, and nostalgic comfort in every bite.
