You can prepare the Tortilla Egg Bake the night before and store it covered in the refrigerator. In the morning, simply pop it into the preheated oven and bake as directed. Or, you can bake it ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator. In the morning, just reheat and enjoy!Substitutions & Variations
- Cheese: Swap out the shredded cheese for cheddar, mozzarella, or pepper jack. If you’re feeling adventurous, try a combination of cheeses for extra flavor.
- Meat: Substitute the ham with cooked bacon, sausage, or even turkey. For a vegetarian option, skip the meat entirely or add more veggies like bell peppers, spinach, or mushrooms.
- Veggies: Feel free to add any of your favorite vegetables. Zucchini, spinach, bell peppers, and onions are all great choices. Just be sure to dice them small so they cook evenly.
Helpful Cooking Notes
- Choosing the Right Tortilla: A large, sturdy flour tortilla works best for this recipe. It will hold up well and create a nice, crispy base.
- Cooling Time: Let the bake cool for a few minutes before slicing. This makes it easier to cut and serve.
- Mixing Tips: Whisk the eggs and cottage cheese until well combined. This ensures a smooth and creamy texture.
- Serving Suggestions: This Tortilla Egg Bake is delicious on its own, but you can also serve it with a dollop of sour cream, salsa, or hot sauce for extra flavor.
