3 Breakfast Sausage Links (Pre-cooked or browned)
Shredded Mozzarella (or a pizza blend)
1 Fresh Egg
Toppings: Sliced red chilies (optional) and fresh spinach
Egg Wash: 1 egg yolk whisked
Garnish: Black sesame seeds or Nigella seeds
Step-by-Step Instructions
Prep the Crust: Place your tortilla on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Position your three sausages in a triangle shape in the center of the tortilla.
Fold and Secure: Fold the edges of the tortilla over each sausage to create a “rim.” Use toothpicks to pin the corners together so the triangle holds its shape during baking.
Fill the Center: * Layer a small bed of fresh spinach at the bottom.
Add a generous layer of shredded cheese.
Sprinkle your sliced chilies on top.
The Centerpiece: Crack a fresh egg directly into the center of the cheese nest. (If you prefer it extra cheesy, you can add a little more cheese over the egg whites).
The Golden Touch: Brush the “rim” (the folded tortilla parts) with the egg yolk wash. This gives it that deep golden, pastry-like finish. Sprinkle with black sesame seeds.
Bake: Pop it into the oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 10–12 minutes. You’re looking for the cheese to be bubbly and the tortilla to be crisp and golden.
Serve: Remove the toothpicks before serving! Slice it down the middle for that epic cheese pull and a perfectly runny yolk.
Pro-Tips
Sausage Choice: If you use raw sausage, make sure to pan-fry them first. The oven time isn’t quite long enough to cook raw meat thoroughly.
Crispy Bottom: For an even crispier base, you can lightly brush the bottom of the tortilla with oil or melted butter before assembling
