Equipment
- 1 Blender
Ingredients
- 6 mini flour tortillas
- 6 eggs
- 180 grams of cottage cheese
- 2 tablespoon pesto
- 80 grams crumbled feta cheese plus more for sprinkling on top
- Pinch of salt and pepper
Toppings
- Bell pepper chopped
- Cherry tomatoes halved
- Spinach or coriander finely chopped
- Chili flakes
- 1 tablespoon chives optional
Instructions
- Preheat Your Oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
- Prepare Tortilla Cups: Grease a muffin pan and place one tortilla into each cavity, shaping them into cups. If the tortillas are too large, you may need to cut them to fit better.
- Blend Egg Mixture: In a blender, combine eggs, cottage cheese, pesto, feta and a pinch of salt & pepper. Blend until smooth.
- Fill Tortilla Cups: Pour the egg mixture evenly into each tortilla cup.
- Add Toppings: Sprinkle chopped bell pepper, cherry tomatoes, and spinach or coriander on top of each egg cup. Add a pinch of chili flakes for some extra heat. Finish by sprinkling additional crumbled feta cheese on top.
- Bake: Place the muffin pan in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes. Check on them and if needed bake for a further 5 minutes. You want to bake them until the tortilla crust is super crispy and the eggs are cooked through.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once baked, remove the tortilla egg cups from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy them warm or at room temperature.

Notes
Nutrition analysis:
I’ve included an estimated nutrition breakdown for this recipe below.
For the nutrition analysis I used 2% cottage cheese, fat free feta and mini tortillas that contain 75 calories each. Remember, though, that a recipe is much more than its nutritional content, and these numbers shouldn't solely dictate your food choices.
Serving size:
This makes six tortilla egg cups if you have a large 6 cup muffin tray or 9-10 egg cups if you have a 12-cup tray.For more nutrition information and tips, visit www.marialuceydietitian.com. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I do! 😊
