Why this works

A low-carb tortilla pressed into a dish turns into a crisp, golden crust. Fill it with eggs and cottage cheese, scatter over spinach and tomato, top it with mozzarella, and bake. You get something between a quiche and a breakfast pizza, with over 40g of protein in the whole dish.

Slice it like a pizza and eat it warm. It's filling enough for one big breakfast or two smaller ones.

Method

01
Heat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
02
Press the tortilla flat into a shallow, round oven-safe dish or pie pan so the edges curve slightly up the sides.
03
Crack the eggs straight onto the tortilla. Add the cottage cheese, salt and black pepper, then whisk everything together with a fork until combined across the base.
04
Scatter the diced tomatoes and spinach evenly over the egg mixture.
05
Spread the mozzarella over the top and finish with a pinch of black pepper and any herbs you like.
06
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes.
07
Give the dish a gentle shake. The center should be set and firm, not watery or loose. Slice like a pizza and serve warm.
