Equipment

  • Measuring Spoons
  • Measuring Cups
  • Cutting Board
  • Knife
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Whisk
  • Silicone Spatula
  • Saute Pan
  • Stove Top
  • Oven
  • Glass Baking Dish

Ingredients

  • 1 Tablespoon Unsalted Butter
  • ¼ cup White Onion diced
  • ¼ cup Mushrooms diced
  • ¼ cup Red Bell Pepper diced
  • 6 Eggs d
  • ½ cup Cottage Cheese
  • ⅛ Teaspoon Black Pepper
  • ⅛ Teaspoon Seasoned Salt
  • ¼ Cup Shredded Cheese
  • 1 10-inch Tortilla

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350° Fahrenheit.
  • In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add diced onion, red bell pepper, and mushrooms. Sauté until softened and lightly browned, about 5–7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs. Stir in until incorporated the cottage cheese, black pepper, seasoned salt, and the cooked vegetables.
  • Lightly spray an 8-inch pie plate with non-stick cooking spray. Press the tortilla into the pie plate, forming it into the shape of the dish.
  • Pour the egg and veggie mixture into the tortilla shell. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly on top.
  • Bake for 30–35 minutes or until the center is set and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  • Let the tortilla bake cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Use your hands to press the tortilla into the pie plate gently—using a fork can tear it. Warm the tortilla for 10 seconds in the microwave to make it more pliable if needed.
  • Sauté the vegetables until all moisture is cooked off to avoid a watery egg bake.
  • Let it rest before slicing—give it 5–10 minutes after baking so the eggs can finish setting and hold their shape better.
  • Customize with add-ins like chopped spinach, crumbled bacon, or jalapeños to change up the flavor.
