Golden tortilla with juicy sausages around the edges, melted cheese and vibrant vegetables in the center — a quick, satisfying choice for breakfast or a snack. It comes together in minutes, and the oven does the rest: the crust turns crisp, the egg whites set gently, and the filling stays tender.
Ingredients
- Flour tortilla (10–12 in | 25–30 cm diameter) — 1 piece
- Sausages — 2 pieces
- Eggs — 2 pieces
- Cherry tomatoes — 6 pieces
- Bell pepper — 1/2 piece
- Red onion — 1/4 piece
- Hard cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, etc.), grated — 2.8 oz | 80 g
- Toothpicks for securing — 4 pieces
Step-by-Step Recipe
- Preheat the oven to 356°F | 180°C using convection bake. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the tortilla on the baking sheet. Lay the sausages along two opposite edges of the flatbread, fold the tortilla edges around each sausage, and secure with toothpicks to form raised sides.
- Carefully crack the eggs into the center of the tortilla. Add halved cherry tomatoes, thin strips of bell pepper, and fine slivers of red onion.
- Sprinkle everything with grated cheese, distributing it evenly over the filling.
- Bake for 8–12 minutes until golden and crisp: the whites should be set and the yolks still slightly creamy, or cook to your preferred doneness.
- Remove from the oven, let stand for 1 minute, carefully remove the toothpicks, slice, and serve immediately.

Tips and Variations
- No convection: bake at 374–392°F | 190–200°C; the time may increase by 2–4 minutes.
- Egg doneness: for runny yolks, start checking at minute 8; for fully set yolks, bake a little longer.
- Filling variations: swap the sausages for bratwurst, ham, smoked chicken, or keep it vegetarian with vegetables and cheese only.
- Cheese blend: combine cheddar for flavor and mozzarella for a gooey melt.
- Heat: add jalapeño slices, a pinch of chili flakes, or paprika.
- To keep the tortilla from getting soggy, don’t overload the center with wet filling and bake on a preheated sheet.
FAQ
Can I make it without convection?
Yes. Bake at 374–392°F | 190–200°C using regular top-and-bottom heat, watching for a golden crust. The time may increase by 2–4 minutes.
What can I use instead of sausages?
Bratwurst, ham, bacon, cooked chicken breast, or plant-based sausages all work well — choose what you like.
How do I make the filling cheesier and more melty?
Mix mozzarella with cheddar or Gouda in a 1:1 ratio and sprinkle it evenly over the filling.
