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!
Looks good! I’m going to try this with bacon or sausage instead of ham. I’m also going to try the eggs scrambled. I’ll post and let you know the results.
Made it this morning with chopped peppers, greens, and goat cheese. SO delicious and easy. Split it with my son who devoured it and said it’s a new favorite. Thanks!
This is SO easy and delicious! I love that it can be customized according to people’s tastes and nutritional goals (and what I have laying around). I have a few pans around this size and I make two different ones at a time. Wonderful for anytime of day.
This looks yummy! Have to try it with a conventional oven.
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!!
Made it with chorizo, tomatoes, mushroom, mozarella and topped with arugula after. and a dash of hot sauce for me! Lovely! Thank you <3
I made this with an Oroweat, keto tortilla and scrambled the egg. I baked it for about 16 minutes and it worked perfectly. An easy and tasty breakfast with dozens of variations possible to change it up. This is definitely going into the regular breakfast rotation.
I make this a lot and pack it with anything and everything.. amazing every time 💛
I used 2 eggs, leftover roasted veggies & a sprinkle of cheese. So good!
Absolutely amazing and easy to make and can make variations. Will make again.
This was amazing! I actually did a variation where I mixed the egg and veggies but also cracked one on top before adding the feta.
My variation:
I mixed…about
1 large egg
1 tbsp of sour cream
sweet onion diced
arugula shredded
tomato diced
Oven safe bowl sprayed with cooking spray
Poured it into the tortilla, which I microwaved to soften it so I could form it into the bowl.
Add one add to the middle
Sage, salt and pepper
Crumble feta over the top.
Convection at 400f for about 20 minutes although I had to cover it with foil after 15 as I was afraid the tortilla would burn.
I ate it by hand. It was a winner.
HI Michael, thanks for trying the recipe and sharing your feedback on it!
Added 1/3 C cottage cheese and ooooh my!
Hi Joella, that’s the perfect add in!
Wow! Super simple, tastes great, and very versatile. I took pictures but I don’t see anyplace to upload them. I love how easy it came out the pan too! Thank you for sharing.
HI Roxanne, Glad you liked it and I apologize but as of now, we dont have the capability for users to upload their own pictures. Hopeufully one day it will happen on here!
