Ingredients
1 large flour tortilla
4 large eggs
1/4 cup milk
1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese
1/4 cup grated mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup fresh spinach, chopped
1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1/4 cup red bell pepper, finely diced
2 tablespoons red onion, finely chopped
Salt to taste
Black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a small baking dish with olive oil.
- Press the flour tortilla into the prepared baking dish, shaping it to form a crust along the bottom and slightly up the sides.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until smooth and well combined.
- Stir in the cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, chopped spinach, cherry tomatoes, diced red bell pepper, and red onion. Season with salt and black pepper to taste and mix gently.
- Pour the egg mixture into the tortilla-lined baking dish and spread evenly.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the eggs are fully set in the center and the tortilla edges are golden and crisp.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
Add cooked mushrooms, zucchini, or broccoli for extra vegetables and texture.
For a spicy kick, mix in diced jalapeños or a pinch of chili flakes.
Substitute part of the milk with cream for a richer flavor, or try feta or pepper jack cheese for variation.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Reheat in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 8 to 10 minutes to maintain crispness, or microwave for 1 to 2 minutes if short on time.
Freeze individual slices tightly wrapped for up to 2 months and thaw overnight before reheating.
