Ingredients
  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • 2 large flour tortillas
  • 1–2 slices ham
  • torn into pieces
  • 2 large free-range eggs
  • at room temperature
  • Pinch sea salt flakes
  • 75g/2½oz cheddar
  • grated
  • hot sauce
  • to taste
Directions
  • Preheat the oven to 200C/180C Fan/Gas 6.
  • Use 1 teaspoon of the oil to lightly grease the base and sides of a shallow
  • round
  • ovenproof dish. Line it with one of the tortillas
  • making sure it comes up the sides a little
  • creating a tortilla bowl.
  • Scatter over the ham
  • crack in the eggs – sprinkling the yolks with a little salt – and then spread about a third of the cheese on top.
  • Brush one side of the second tortilla with oil and place oiled-side up
  • loosely on top of the filling. Press the edges of the tortillas together
  • pushing them down into the dish and up the sides
  • then brush these edges with a little more oil.
  • Top with the remaining cheese
  • then add a few squeezes or shakes of hot sauce
  • depending on how fiery you want this to be. Bake in the oven for 15 minutes
  • by which time the eggs will be cooked inside
  • the cheese melted
  • and the edges of the tortilla crust crisped and browned. Ovens do vary
  • so you may find you need to alter the cooking time. Eat immediately. This is not a huge problem.
