# Ingredients:
→ Filling & Base
01 -
1/3 cup shredded cheese (a tex mex mix works great for extra taste)
02 -
1/4 cup cottage cheese (low fat)
03 -
1 tortilla (large, made from whole wheat)
04 -
1/2 cup of veggies chopped small (I like using baby spinach)
05 -
3 eggs (large)
→ Spices
06 -
A sprinkle of black pepper (freshly ground)
07 -
1/8 tsp of cayenne pepper (adjust if you like it milder or hotter)
08 -
1/4 tsp garlic powder
09 -
1/4 tsp salt
# Instructions:
01 -
Set your oven to 350°F, placing the rack right in the center so everything bakes evenly.
02 -
Place the tortilla inside an 8-inch pan and gently press it down so it forms a neat shell.
03 -
Pop the eggs, cottage cheese, and seasonings into a blender and let it go for about 10 seconds until it's smooth. No blender? Stir or whisk it up until mixed well.
04 -
Pour your blended egg mixture into the tortilla base. Scatter your veggies and sprinkle cheese over the top.
05 -
Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes. You'll know it's ready when the eggs are set and the edges of the tortilla turn a lovely golden brown.
06 -
Let it sit for five minutes before lifting it out of the pan. Slice it into four pieces and eat it warm, or pack it away for later.
# Notes:
01 -
