Ingredients:

• 250g of ground beef
• 100g of cheddar cheese, grated
• 200g of puff pastry
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 1 clove of garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon of olive oil
• 1 teaspoon of dried oregano
• Salt to taste
• Pepper to taste
• 1 egg, beaten for egg wash

Kitchen Tools Needed:

• Oven
• Baking dish
• Knife
• Cutting board
• Mixing bowl
• Rolling pin

Instructions:

• Preheat the oven to 200°C (392°F).
• In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sauté until translucent.
• Add the ground beef, breaking it apart with a spoon. Cook until browned. Season with oregano, salt, and pepper.
• Once cooked, remove from heat and let it cool slightly. Stir in half of the grated cheddar cheese.
• Roll out the puff pastry on a floured surface until it's about 3mm thick. Cut it into strips about 2cm wide for the lattice top.
• In a baking dish, spread the beef and cheese mixture evenly. Top with the remaining grated cheddar cheese.
• Create a lattice pattern on top by weaving the pastry strips over the filling.
• Brush the pastry lattice with the beaten egg to give it a golden color while baking.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and cooked through.
• Once done, remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
