Description

Deliciously crispy tortilla cups filled with fluffy eggs, sautéed mushrooms, and fresh herbs, perfect for busy mornings or brunch gatherings.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 small flour or corn tortillas
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup sautéed mushrooms (cremini or shiitake recommended)
  • 1/4 cup fresh herbs (cilantro, chives, or parsley)
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese (Monterey Jack or queso fresco, optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Pinch of smoked paprika (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Lightly grease a muffin tin with cooking spray or butter.
  3. Warm tortillas on a skillet for a few seconds on each side.
  4. Press each tortilla into a muffin cup to form a small cup shape.
  5. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt, and pepper, then fold in sautéed mushrooms and herbs.
  6. Pour the egg mixture into each tortilla cup, filling them about three-quarters full.
  7. If using cheese, sprinkle it on top.
  8. Bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the egg is set and the tortillas are golden brown.
  9. Allow to cool for a few minutes, then gently remove from the muffin tin.

Notes

Serve warm with salsa or avocado for extra flavor. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days.
