Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tortilla
  • 3 eggs
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste
  • ½ teaspoon oregano
  • 1 tomato sliced
  • 80 g about ¾ cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 2 green onions chopped

Method
 

  1. 1. Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a bowl, beat the eggs with salt, black pepper, and oregano until well combined.
  2. 2. Cook the Eggs: Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and pour in the egg mixture, ensuring it covers the entire pan. Let it cook for 1–2 minutes until it starts to set.
  3. 3. Add the Tortilla: Place the tortilla directly on top of the eggs while they are still slightly wet. Gently press it down to stick to the eggs. After 30 seconds, carefully flip the tortilla so the egg side is facing up.
  4. 4. Add the Toppings: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the surface, then add the sliced tomatoes and chopped green onions evenly across the tortilla.
  5. 5. Cook Until Golden and Crispy: Cover the pan with a lid and cook for 3–4 minutes until the cheese melts and the tortilla becomes crispy.
  6. 6. Serve & Enjoy: Remove from the pan, slice into wedges, and serve immediately. Enjoy it on its own or with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

  • Make it Spicy: Add red pepper flakes or a drizzle of hot sauce for an extra kick.
  • Add More Protein: Toss in some shredded chicken, turkey, or crispy bacon.
  • Healthier Option: Use a whole wheat tortilla and reduce the cheese for a lighter version.
  • Dairy-Free Alternative: Swap mozzarella for a plant-based cheese alternative or omit the cheese altogether.
  • Storage Tip: Best enjoyed fresh, but you can refrigerate leftovers and reheat in a pan for a crispy texture.
