Featured Standouts
Tortilla
The foundation of this dish, a crisp tortilla provides essential structure and a satisfying crunch with every bite. Its golden-brown edges offer a delightful textural contrast to the silky eggs.
Silken Tofu
Silken tofu is a powerhouse of plant-based protein. It lends a remarkably creamy and smooth texture to the dish. This texture mimics the richness of scrambled eggs. Its mild flavor serves as a perfect canvas for the other ingredients.
Monterey Jack Cheese
This classic, semi-hard cheese is known for its excellent melt and mild, buttery flavor. When incorporated, it creates pockets of gooey, savory deliciousness that bind the ingredients together.
Mushrooms
Earthy and umami-rich, sliced mushrooms add a layer of deep, savory flavor. As they cook, they release their natural juices, infusing the dish with a complex aroma and taste.
Spinach
Spinach is fresh and vibrant. It wilts down tenderly into the mixture. This adds a touch of verdant color and a subtle, slightly sweet note. It’s a healthy addition that complements the other ingredients beautifully.
TIPS & TRICKS FOR THE BEST HIGH-PROTEIN BAKED EGG TORTILLA
Choose Large Wrap Tortillas
Opting for larger wrap tortillas provides ample space for filling. They also allow for generous crispy edges. These edges add an extra dimension of texture to the finished dish. These larger tortillas can also help prevent spillage during the baking process.
Thoroughly Drain Tofu
To achieve the ideal creamy consistency, press and drain the silken tofu thoroughly. This prevents a watery end product. Excess moisture can make the tortilla soggy and diminish the overall flavor and texture.
Customize with other cheese
If you enjoy a bit of a kick, try substituting Monterey Jack cheese. Use pepper jack jalapeno. Alternatively, use habanero jack cheese. This swap will introduce a delightful spicy warmth that elevates the flavor profile without overpowering the other ingredients.
How to keep the tortilla from browning
Keep the tortilla on the lower rack until the end of cooking. The exposed tortilla can get a little darker than the rest of the egg. This makes it a great chip-like addition to the bake.
