Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients

  

• a little bit butter
• some corn or flour tortillas
• 2 eggs
• about 2 tablespoons sun-dried tomatoes
• 1 tablespoon fresh basil
• 1 slice mozzarella
• a little bit salt and pepper
• chili flakes or hot sauce optional

Method

 

1. Melt a little butter in a pan; warm tortillas.
2. While tortillas heat, crack eggs into pan. Scramble; add sun-dried tomatoes and basil.
3. Flip tortillas. Place mozzarella on eggs; let melt briefly before stirring in.
4. Add a little salt and pepper; stir until eggs are cooked.
5. Remove from heat. Plate tortillas; divide eggs evenly between the two.
6. Top with chili flakes or hot sauce if desired.

Notes

With this method, you can get melty bites of cheese instead of just losing it in the eggs.

Total time: a few minutes.

Preparing the Tortillas and Eggs

First, we’re going to melt a little bit of butter into a pan, and we’re going to heat up some tortillas. I’m using corn tortillas here, but you can also use flour if that’s what you prefer or have on hand.

While the tortillas are heating, we’re going to crack two eggs into the pan. Then scramble them up and add about two tablespoons of sun-dried tomatoes and one tablespoon of fresh basil.

Adding the Cheese and Serving

Flip your tortillas and then we’re going to add a slice of mozzarella right on top of the eggs and let it melt just a bit before you stir it in.

Now we’re going to add a little bit of salt and pepper and just keep stirring until the eggs are cooked. Remove them from the heat and also put your tortillas on a plate. Then we’re just going to put the eggs on top of the tortillas, evenly split between the two.

I love to add fun ingredients that you have in your fridge to breakfast tacos. It’s a fun way to make breakfast feel extra special without a lot of extra work. You can also add chili flakes or hot sauce on top if you like.

And that’s it. Now you have a breakfast that’s high in protein and ready in just a few minutes. Enjoy!
