A quick and hearty breakfast or brunch dish featuring layers of eggs, tortillas, cheese, and vegetables. Perfect for meal prep or feeding a crowd!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk (or your preferred milk alternative)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika (optional)
  • 1/2 cup diced onions
  • 1/2 cup diced bell peppers (any color)
  • 1/2 cup cooked and crumbled breakfast sausage or bacon (optional)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or Monterey Jack)
  • 6 small flour or corn tortillas
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×9-inch baking dish.
  2. Prepare Egg Mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika until well combined.
  3. Layer Ingredients: Place two tortillas on the bottom of the baking dish. Spread a third of the onions, bell peppers, and sausage (if using) over the tortillas. Sprinkle with a third of the cheese. Repeat this process for two more layers.
  4. Pour Egg Mixture: Pour the egg mixture evenly over the layers, ensuring it seeps down to the bottom.
  5. Bake: Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and the top is golden.
  6. Cool and Serve: Let the bake cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired. Slice into squares and serve warm.

Notes

  • Add diced jalapeños for a spicy kick.
  • Swap the sausage for black beans to make it vegetarian.
  • This bake can be made a day ahead and reheated before serving.
