Ingredients
6 small tortillas (flour or corn)
6 large eggs
½ cup milk
1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your choice)
½ cup diced vegetables (bell peppers, onions, spinach, or tomatoes)
¼ cup cooked and crumbled sausage or bacon (optional)
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh herbs (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a muffin tin.
Press each tortilla into the muffin cups to form small bowls.
In a bowl, whisk together eggs and milk until well combined.
Stir in shredded cheese, diced vegetables, cooked meat if using, and seasonings.
Pour the egg mixture into each tortilla cup, filling about three-quarters full.
Bake for 18–22 minutes until eggs are set and tortilla edges are golden and crisp.
Allow to cool slightly before removing from the tin.
Serve warm.
Notes
Warm tortillas slightly before shaping to prevent cracking.
Pre-cook vegetables to reduce excess moisture.
Use whole wheat or corn tortillas for variation.
Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
Reheat in the microwave or oven until warmed through.
