Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  1. 1 tablespoon olive oil
  2. 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms
  3. 1 small yellow onion, sliced thin
  4. 1 small green bell pepper, sliced thin
  5. Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  6. 1/2 cup spinach
  7. One 12-inch flour tortilla
  8. 1 cup shredded Colby Jack cheese
  9. 4 large eggs
  10. 2 green onions, sliced thin
  11. Hot sauce, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a 10-inch cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the mushrooms, onions and bell peppers. Cook until slightly charred, 3 to 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Turn off the heat and stir in the spinach. Remove the veggie mix to a plate.
  3. Add the tortilla to the skillet, pressing it lightly to touch the bottom. Top the tortilla with two-thirds of the cheese and the reserved veggie mix. Crack the eggs over the top and cover with the remaining cheese. Sprinkle the yolks with salt and pepper.
  4. Bake until the cheese has melted and the whites of the eggs have set, 15 to 17 minutes for a runny yolk, 20 to 22 minutes for a firmer yolk.
  5. Transfer the tortilla to a cutting board or platter. Top with the green onions and hot sauce. Slice into wedges and serve.

Excellent! the 2nd time I made this I added a bit of italian sausage. So very good- and easy for a week night meal!
Christopher Sanchez
So good! Used bacon, onions and mushrooms, and added some leftover fried rice. Making again today.

We liked this a lot. I used a stainless steel skillet and the only place it stuck was where the cheese ran over the edge. Didn’t have peppers but did include 2 slices of cut up bacon.

I fixed this last night. I forgot the salt and pepper but the ingredients melded together to have a fantastic taste. I used two 8′ cast iron skillets for a his and her dinner. One of her favorite meals now!

Delicious!!! My husband watches your show with me.. last week he said.. we need that!  You even inspired me to grate my own cheese!  lol Also I love cooking in my great grandma’s cast iron skillets!

This is DELICIOUS and I even made it low cal with light cheese and carb balance tortilla! Very satisfying!

Easy for someone that doesn’t use too many ingredients for a breakfast dish. I also like no more than a 5 step recipe.
Karen Schwartz
This was so easy and delish, we did add some breakfast sausage, bacon would also be good.

Saw Ree make this recipe this morning on her show. Had all the ingredients on hand this snowy morning, so decided to make it. Followed the recipe but added halfed cherry tomatoes. So easy and delicious. Will add to the weekend breakfast rotation

I made this tonight with a few minor swaps, based on things I had on hand. Ham instead of mushrooms, added some fennel. It was so good and so easy! I will make again with other variations (chorizo and jalapeños is already on my mind).
