Cook the Pasta
\nBoil macaroni in salted water until just tender. Drain and lightly toss with olive oil to prevent sticking.
\nMake the Egg Mixture
\nWhisk the eggs until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. (Optional: add a splash of milk or cream for extra richness.)
\nCreate the First Layer
\nHeat oil in a large pan over medium heat. Spread half the pasta evenly. Pour over the eggs, sprinkle with grated cheese, and place sliced cheese on top for a melty layer.
\nAdd the Second Layer
\nTop with the remaining pasta. Lower the heat, cover, and cook for about 10 minutes until the eggs set and the bottom becomes crisp.
\nTip: Keep the heat low to avoid burning.
\nFlip and Finish
\nCarefully turn the bake using a spatula or plate. Cook the other side for 8\u201310 minutes until golden and crispy.
\n(If flipping is difficult, cut into pieces and flip individually.)
\nServe
\nSprinkle with extra grated cheese if desired. Slice and serve warm. Pairs well with a fresh salad or roasted vegetables.
