Southwest Tortilla Baked Eggs

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Brush the olive oil over the inside surface of a circular baking dish.

Step 2

Press the tortilla down into the baking dish so that the edges fold up the sides of the dish. It may help to microwave the tortilla for a few seconds first to make it more pliable.

Step 3

Sprinkle 1/2 of the shredded cheddar into the bottom of the tortilla. Dice the bell pepper and add it on top of the cheese along with the diced green chiles.

Step 4

Crack four eggs into the dish on top of the vegetables and cheese. Season with a pinch fo salt and pepper.

Step 5

Top with the remaining shredded cheese.

Step 6

Bake the eggs for about 20 minutes, or until the whites are set and the yolks are still a bit liquid. You can shake the dish a bit to easily see how much the eggs are set.

Step 7

After baking, spoon a couple tablespoons of salsa over the tortilla baked eggs and sprinkle the sliced green onion over top.

Step 8

Loosen the tortilla by sliding a knife around the edge between the tortilla and dish, then slide the tortilla baked eggs out of the dish and use a large knife to cut it into quarters. Serve hot and enjoy!
