Baked Egg Tortilla
Literally the most customizable breakfast recipe. Whatever you have in your fridge, chop it up small and add it to your tortilla and eggs. Season everything well and bake! Fold it up like a taco and enjoy enjoy!
Ingredients:
You can use a regular flour tortilla – the large burrito size ones. You can also grab some low carb, almond flour or cassava tortillas I’ve seen at Whole Foods for a Keto option. The tortilla ends up getting nice and crispy at the edges and is so dreamy.
The baking dish I used was small one at 10 x 7 inches. You want one that the edges of the tortilla are somewhat upright so they get crispy and form a cup like enclosure. I used literally whatever I had leftover in my fridge. You can add more or less things. Add whatever cheese you have or skip it all together to make it dairy free.
Bake these guys until the eggs are set to your preferred doneness. Mine took about 17 minutes. Top with some Sriracha sauce and fresh chopped chives for serving. Slice it in half and fold it up. You will not taste anything better than this for such limited effort – I promise you!

Baked Egg Tortilla
Ingredients
- 1 large flour tortilla (burrito sized)
- 2 eggs
- 1 slice black forest ham, diced
- 6 cherry tomatoes, halved
- 6 black olives, halved
- 1/4 green bell pepper, fine chop
- 1/4 small red onion, diced
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- Optional Garnish: Sriracha + chives
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400° F. Lightly spray a small baking dish with olive oil (my dish was 10 x 7 inches).
- Place the tortilla into the baking dish with edges coming up against the sides of the dish. Add your eggs, ham and vegetables. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle on the cheese evenly and bake for 15 minutes or until you reach your desired doneness. Mine took about 17-18 minutes in my counter top oven.
Looks delicious!! Going to make it this weekend.. do you think the eggs would overcook if I scrambled them before pouring them in the dish?
Hi Sherri!Thank you… I think you should be just fine with scrambling them. I would suggest watching it at the 15 minute mark to make sure.
And also, please come back and let us know how it turned out!
Delicious happiness! Thanks for the recipe! It’s like a quiche but oh so different and just what I wanted!! If you like olives, definitely add them- delish!
Hi Amber, I agree with you on that! Thank you for trying the recipe and your kind feedback!
I love this! I used diced green peppers and mushrooms, eggs with mozzarella cheese and topped with arugula once done. Eggs were not as firm for a fold over for me. It was beautiful, tasty and filling! Will definitely be making this often as there are so many possibilities. Thank you for the recipe!
Hi Cyndi! Sounds amazing with the arugula! Will have to try that next time – thank you!
Made this last night and loved it! Such an easy and quick dinner for us. Only change was switching out chorizo for the ham. So flavorful!
Thank you!
Hi Christy, MMMMMMM chorizo sounds amazing in this dish! Thanks for sharing your feedback and rating the recipe!!
