Description
A quick and versatile breakfast made with just eggs and a tortilla, ready in under 5 minutes and perfect for customizing with cheese, herbs, or vegetables.
Ingredients
2 large eggs
1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
1 (10-inch) flour tortilla
Instructions
- Crack the eggs into a bowl, add salt, and whisk until smooth.
- Heat the oil in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat.
- Pour in the eggs, swirling to create a thin, even layer. Cook until the bottom is set but the top is still slightly runny, about 30–60 seconds.
- Place the tortilla on top of the eggs, pressing gently so it sticks. Cook for another 30–60 seconds until eggs are fully set and tortilla is warmed.
- Flip the egg-tortilla over and cook until tortilla is lightly crisp, about 30 seconds.
- Transfer to a plate, fold in half while warm, and serve immediately.
Notes
- Add cheese before placing the tortilla on top for a cheesy version.
- Mix in fresh herbs like cilantro, chives, or scallions with the eggs.
- Season with turmeric, cayenne, or smoked paprika for spice.
- Add greens such as arugula, spinach, or kale before folding.
- Swap tortilla for cooked frozen paratha for a flakier texture.
