EGG TORTILLA PIE
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.
