Eggs, a nutritional powerhouse, offer a fantastic option for breakfast or brunch. Packed with vitamins A, D, and B12, they can be transformed into a variety of delectable dishes. While traditional egg recipes like scrambled, boiled, or fried eggs are always reliable, they can sometimes become monotonous and call for additional ingredients to enhance their appeal.
Introducing the baked egg tortilla, a recipe that combines the simplicity of an omelette with the convenience of a tortilla. This versatile dish allows you to customize it to your liking by adding your favorite ingredients to the center of a tortilla and baking it in the oven. Feel free to experiment with different flavor combinations, such as spinach, chopped cooked chicken, cheese, and sun-dried tomatoes. You can also use any tortilla you prefer, from flour to corn to Keto-friendly options.
To create your own baked egg tortilla, gather the following ingredients: a large flour tortilla, two eggs (beaten), a handful of spinach, 30g cheddar cheese, 80g chopped chicken breast, salt and pepper to season, spray oil or one tablespoon of olive oil, and six sun-dried tomatoes.
Begin by preheating your oven to 200C and lightly spraying a small baking dish with oil. Place the tortilla in the dish so that it wraps around the center, creating a basket shape. Pour the beaten eggs and all the remaining ingredients, except the cheese, into the tortilla. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Finally, sprinkle the cheese on top and bake for 17-20 minutes, or until the egg is set and the cheese is golden brown.
Your baked egg tortilla is now ready to be enjoyed! Serve it with a side salad or relish it on its own. With its ease of preparation and endless flavor possibilities, this recipe is sure to become a staple in your breakfast or brunch routine.
