Instructions
Preheat & Prep: Preheat your oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a 9-inch cake pan or pie plate (or similar baking dish). Place the large tortilla into the dish so it slightly curves up the sides.
Prep Your Veggies: If you are adding any vegetables and want to cook them prior to adding them in, do this now so they can cool slightly before adding to the filling. You can also just add them in as is if desired.
Make the Egg Mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, cottage cheese, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Add Fillings: Add any vegetables or proteins into the tortilla, then carefully pour over the egg mixture and top with any cheese.
Bake: Bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.
Cool & Serve: Let it cool for 5–10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm with salsa, avocado, or hot sauce if desired.
