They are like mini quiches, just extra simple and quick!
This is a very versitile recipe. If you have tortillas and if you have eggs, then you can make it and use any ingredients you have in your fridge or you fancy.
So just get some inspiration and create your own version! I will be very happy to see it.

These are of course perfect for our #afternoontea too!

Steps

30 min

1

Take a bowl and cut circles from your tortilla. These were the sizes I used (diameter)
tortillas: 30 cm
each cupcake of the pan: 6.5 cm
bowl: 11cm
I got 6 circles out of each tortilla (see last step for the leftover tortillas)
2

Put the circles in the cupcake pan. They will be a bit folded, it doesn't matter.
3

Cut the courgette in small cubes. Cut the ham slices in small pieces too.
4

In each tortilla cup put some courgette cubes, 1 tbsp of cheese and some ham pieces.
5

In a bowl mix the eggs with the milk, salt, pepper and paprika. I had a tbsp of yoghurt that was left over and I added that too, but you don’t have to.
6

Pour the egg mix until the cups are full. Sprinkle with some extra cheese and add half a cherry tomato and some basil leaves on top (for decoration mostly)
7

Bake at 180º, until the eggs have set and the cups are a nice golden brown colour (around 15-20 min). Remove from the pan and serve!
8

Of course we don't throw away anything! The pieces that remained from the tortillas can be made into very nice chips. Sprikle them with any herbs or spices you want and a bit of oil and bake them.
And if you have any leftover egg mix, just make a small omelette 😉

I live in Greece but I love to try and experiment with food from all over the world! I have 2 children that are grown up now and off to the University, but I consider it my great success that they both love to try new things, they can cook and actually love to do it! It is my firm belief that everyone can cook and the only thing to do is get in the kitchen and try it!
