Step-by-Step Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large bowl, combine the cornmeal, salt, and black pepper. Gradually add the milk, stirring until the mixture forms a thick batter.
2
In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Drain the excess fat and stir in the chopped onions. Cook until they're translucent and starting to caramelize.
3
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and set aside. In the cornmeal batter, stir in the cooked beef and onions, followed by the crumbled cheese and chopped cilantro.
4
Pour the egg mixture over the batter and stir until just combined. Pour the mixture into the prepared skillet or baking dish and smooth the top.
5
Bake the sopa for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is hot and bubbly. Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
