Tortilla Egg Bake
This cheesy tortilla egg bake is the perfect quick one-pan breakfast that's hearty, wholesome and protein packed.
Ingredients
- 1 tortilla
- 3 eggs
- ½ cup tomato
- ½ cup red bell pepper
- ½ cup cottage cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- 1 cup spinach
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon oil
Instructions
- Grease a tart pan and place a tortilla into it, pressing it from the sides. Pour whisked eggs and cottage cheese into the tortilla.
- Add the tomatoes and bell peppers, followed by the seasonings. Mix well.
- Add whole or chopped spinach and mix again. Top with a generous sprinkle of cheese.
- Finish up with a dash of salt and pepper.
- Bake at 400 F for about 20 minutes.
Notes
- To save time, you can buy pre-chopped veggies at your next grocery run, and use them instead.
- I used a full sized tortilla here, but you could also use small tortillas and a muffin pan to portion it out into individual sized servings. This will also take slightly less time to cook, which is great.
- Don't go overboard with the fillings. Remember that the egg mixture will rise a bit as it cooks, and you don't want it to overflow.
