Ingredients
  

For Recipe 1
  • 2 large large tortillas (20 cm)
  • 3 large large eggs
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1 medium medium tomato, diced
  • 100 g mushrooms, sliced (or 100 g ham for Recipe 2)
  • 50 g fresh spinach (or 1 teaspoon dried oregano and parsley for Recipe 2)
  • 1 large bell pepper, diced
  • 100 g mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 50 g feta cheese, crumbled (optional for Recipe 2)
For Recipe 2
  • 2 large large tortillas (20 cm)
  • 5 large large eggs
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1 medium medium tomato, diced
  • 100 g ham, diced
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 1 teaspoon parsley
  • 1 large bell pepper, diced
  • 100 g mozzarella cheese, shredded

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (or 180°C for Recipe 2).
  2. In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs, seasoning them with salt and black pepper.
  3. Place one tortilla on a baking tray. Add the desired toppings:
  4. For Recipe 1: layer spinach, diced tomato, sliced mushrooms, diced bell pepper, mozzarella, and feta (if using).
  5. For Recipe 2: layer ham, diced tomato, mozzarella, oregano, and parsley.
  6. Pour the egg mixture generously over the toppings, allowing it to soak through a bit.
  7. Place the second tortilla on top and press down gently to compact the layers.
Cooking
  1. Bake for about 20 minutes or until the tortilla is crispy and the cheese has melted beautifully.

Notes

For extra crispiness, lightly brush the top of the tortilla with olive oil before baking. Always taste your egg mixture before pouring it on as this will affect the overall flavor. If the edges of the tortilla start to brown too quickly, you can cover them with foil for the remaining baking time.
