Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). While the oven is heating up, gather all the ingredients, and prepare the toppings.
  • Take a round baking dish or a pie dish that's approximately the same size as the tortilla. Grease the bottom and sides of the dish lightly with cooking spray or a small amount of oil.

  • Now, add the toppings. Be creative with this step! Sprinkle diced tomatoes, diced green peppers, and chopped spinach or arugula evenly over the egg mixture. Or, use flavor option two with tomatoes, olives, red onions, and spinach. Feel free to add other ingredients like diced onions, mushrooms, or cooked bacon if desired. NOTE: If using flavor option three, sauté the shallots and spinach in a skillet until the spinach wilts before combining the ingredients.
