Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece Flour tortilla
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Grated cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
- 1 tablespoon Chopped fresh herbs (e.g., parsley or cilantro)
- Optional toppings, such as salsa or avocado
Instructions
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Allow it to melt and coat the bottom of the pan.
Place the flour tortilla in the skillet and let it heat for 30 seconds, flipping it once to warm both sides evenly.
Crack the eggs directly onto the tortilla, spreading them out slightly to cover most of the surface.
Sprinkle the eggs with salt and black pepper to season. Use a spatula to gently nudge the eggs to ensure they distribute across the tortilla without spilling over.
Let the eggs cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until the whites are mostly set but the yolks are still runny. If you prefer firmer yolks, cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
Sprinkle the grated cheese evenly over the top of the eggs and tortilla. Cover the skillet with a lid to help the cheese melt, cooking for another 1-2 minutes.
When the cheese is melted and the eggs are cooked to your liking, carefully slide the tortilla eggs onto a plate.
Garnish with chopped fresh herbs and any optional toppings like salsa or avocado. Serve hot and enjoy!
