Carnivore Shepherd’s Pie

Carnivore Shepherd’s Pie
Ingredients
For the Meat Filling:
- 1.5 pounds 680g ground beef or lamb
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ cup 120ml water
For the Topping:
- 4 large eggs separated
- 1 cup 240ml heavy cream
- 1 cup 100g shredded hard cheese (e.g., Parmesan or cheddar)
Instructions
Prepare the Meat Filling:
- In a large oven-safe skillet or cast-iron pan, brown the ground meat over medium heat until fully cooked.
- Drain any excess fat.
- Add salt, and water to the meat. Stir to combine.
- Let the mixture simmer over low heat for about 1 hour, stirring occasionally. If the mixture becomes too dry, add an additional ½ cup (120ml) of water.
Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Prepare the Topping:
- In a medium bowl, whisk the egg yolks until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the egg yolks, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
Assemble the Pie:
- Once the meat filling has finished simmering, remove it from the heat.
- Slowly whisk a small amount of the meat mixture into the egg yolk mixture to temper the eggs, then stir the tempered yolks back into the meat mixture.
- Spread the egg mixture evenly over the top of the meat filling.
- Pour the heavy cream over the egg topping, allowing it to seep into the mixture.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the top.
Bake:
- Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 8 minutes.
- After baking, switch the oven to the broil setting and broil for an additional 3-5 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
Serve:
- Remove the pie from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
- Slice into portions and serve warm.
