Ingredients

• 1 piece Flour tortilla
• 2 pieces Large eggs
• 1 tablespoon Butter
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 cup Grated cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
• 1 tablespoon Chopped fresh herbs (e.g., parsley or cilantro)
• 0 Optional toppings, such as salsa or avocado

Directions

Step 1

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Allow it to melt and coat the bottom of the pan.

Step 2

Place the flour tortilla in the skillet and let it heat for 30 seconds, flipping it once to warm both sides evenly.

Step 3

Crack the eggs directly onto the tortilla, spreading them out slightly to cover most of the surface.

Step 4

Sprinkle the eggs with salt and black pepper to season. Use a spatula to gently nudge the eggs to ensure they distribute across the tortilla without spilling over.

Step 5

Let the eggs cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until the whites are mostly set but the yolks are still runny. If you prefer firmer yolks, cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.

Step 6

Sprinkle the grated cheese evenly over the top of the eggs and tortilla. Cover the skillet with a lid to help the cheese melt, cooking for another 1-2 minutes.

Step 7

When the cheese is melted and the eggs are cooked to your liking, carefully slide the tortilla eggs onto a plate.

Step 8

Garnish with chopped fresh herbs and any optional toppings like salsa or avocado. Serve hot and enjoy!
