The Breakfast Tortilla Triangle
Ingredients
- 1 Large Flour Tortilla (Burrito size works best)
- 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
