Ingredients

  • 1 large tortilla
  • 4 large eggs
  • ½ cup cottage cheese
  • 1 –2 tomatoes sliced
  • 5 red onion rings
  • 1 ball burrata
  • 2 tablespoons fresh basil leaves
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chili flakes to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat: Heat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Press: Lightly oil a small oven-safe pan, then press 1 large tortilla into the pan to form a crust.
  • Whisk: Crack 4 eggs directly into the tortilla shell, add ½ cup cottage cheese, season with salt and pepper, and stir gently until combined.
  • Top: Add 1–2 sliced tomatoes, 5 red onion rings, and chili flakes to taste, stirring lightly without tearing the tortilla.

  • Tear: Tear 1 ball burrata into pieces and place evenly over the top.

  • Bake: Bake for 12–15 minutes, until the eggs are just set in the center and the tortilla edges are crisp.
  • Finish: Remove from the oven, top with 2 tablespoon fresh basil, cool slightly, slice, and serve warm.

Notes

  • Spray or brush a little oil under the tortilla. It makes the bottom crispier and prevents sticking.
  • Don’t overbake. Pull it when the center still has the slightest jiggle. It’ll finish setting as it cools.
  • Burrata melts differently every time. That’s part of the charm.
  • This reheats surprisingly well in a skillet if you want crispy edges again.
  • If you’re making this for guests, just double it. Trust me.
