A home-kitchen breakfast mashup that turns crisp tortillas and soft eggs into easy wedges.
Story
Some mornings need breakfast to feel fun before anyone has found both shoes. These little tortilla pizzas crisp quickly, and the eggs stay soft enough for a friendly bite. I put the toppings on the table so everyone can make a version they like. It is a cheerful way to turn ordinary eggs into something the whole kitchen gathers around.

Ingredients
- 4 small flour tortillas
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 6 large eggs
- 2 tbsp milk
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 3/4 cup shredded Monterey Jack
- 1 cup halved cherry tomatoes
- 2 scallions, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup sliced avocado
- Hot sauce, for serving
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 425°F and brush both sides of the tortillas with the olive oil.
- Arrange the tortillas on a sheet pan and bake for 5 minutes until the edges are crisp.
- Whisk the eggs, milk, and salt, then cook them in a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat for 2 minutes until softly set.
- Sprinkle the warm tortillas with the cheese and return them to the oven for 2 minutes until melted.
- Spoon the eggs over the tortillas and top with tomatoes, scallions, and avocado.
- Cut into wedges and serve right away with hot sauce at the table.
Chef Tips
- Keep the eggs a little soft in the skillet since they will finish warming on the tortillas.
- Use corn tortillas if you want a sturdier, extra-crisp base.
- Set out the toppings separately for a breakfast the picky one can build their own way.
- Add cooked bacon or breakfast sausage when you want a heartier plate.
Cook's Notes
- **Tortillas:** Bake until the edges are crisp before adding the toppings.
- **Eggs:** Pull them from the skillet while they still look a little glossy.
- **Toppings:** Keep avocado, tomatoes, and hot sauce separate for easy customizing.
- **Make ahead:** Cook the eggs and slice the toppings up to one day ahead.
