Baked Egg Tortilla

Baked Egg Tortilla 

Cook's Notes: This is my FIRST TikTok recipe to try. I have seen this recipe demonstrated online, and it did not disappoint. The dish checks all the boxes, and oh my, the possibilities are endless, making it customizable. This recipe is delicious and will elevate your breakfast or lunch to a whole new level. I used a spinach tortilla for a base, but any flour tortilla will work. The tortilla was cut into four pieces.   To reheat, place the tortilla on a cookie sheet at 425°F for 3 minutes. The crust gets soggy if you use the microwave.

Baked Egg Tortilla 

• 1 large tortilla-9 -10 inches
• 3 large eggs
• 1/3 cup small curd cottage cheese
• 1/4 cup diced mini red peppers 
• A handful of spinach leaves, finely chopped
• 1/3 cup grated cheddar cheese
• 1/4 teaspoon cumin or Elote seasoning
• 3 tablespoons chopped ham
•  2 tablespoons chopped red onion 
• Salt to taste
• Ground black pepper to taste

Directions: 

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees and place tortilla in a 9 inch pie dish or any small baking dish where the edges curl up to form a cup.
• In a bowl, whisk the eggs. Then add cottage cheese, salt, pepper, and seasoning mix. Mix well and fold in peppers and onions, chopped bits of meat, spinach, and cheese. 

• Bake for 16 minutes, or until the center is set and the edges are golden brown.

• Remove the dish from the oven and carefully slide it onto a cutting board. Using a glass pan helps to maneuver the tortilla out of the pan. Cut with a serrated knife or pizza cutter and enjoy.
