Ingredients

1/2 Tbsp olive oil ($0.09)

1 8" flour tortilla ($0.14)

1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese ($0.50)

1/4 red bell pepper ($0.28)

2 Tbsp diced green chiles ($0.25)

4 large eggs ($0.92)

1/8 tsp salt ($0.02)

1/8 tsp pepper ($0.02)

2 Tbsp salsa ($0.13)

1 green onion, sliced ($0.06)

Instructions

1 Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Brush the olive oil over the inside surface of a circular baking dish.

2 Press the tortilla down into the baking dish so that the edges fold up the sides of the dish. It may help to microwave the tortilla for a few seconds first to make it more pliable.

3 Sprinkle 1/2 of the shredded cheddar into the bottom of the tortilla. Dice the bell pepper and add it on top of the cheese along with the diced green chiles.

4 Crack four eggs into the dish on top of the vegetables and cheese. Season with a pinch fo salt and pepper.

5 Top with the remaining shredded cheese.

6 Bake the eggs for about 20 minutes, or until the whites are set and the yolks are still a bit liquid. You can shake the dish a bit to easily see how much the eggs are set.

7 After baking, spoon a couple tablespoons of salsa over the tortilla baked eggs and sprinkle the sliced green onion over top.

8 Loosen the tortilla by sliding a knife around the edge between the tortilla and dish, then slide the tortilla baked eggs out of the dish and use a large knife to cut it into quarters. Serve hot and enjoy!
