Mini Egg and Cheese Tortilla Cups
Report
Mini Egg and Cheese Tortilla Cups bake eggs mixed with sour cream, cheese, and diced vegetables inside small tortilla rounds pressed into muffin tins. The result is a soft, cheesy, and savory bite-sized breakfast or snack with a mild tortilla crust.
Description
This recipe cuts tortillas into small circles to line a greased muffin tin, forming individual cups. Whisking eggs together with sour cream adds creaminess, while cheddar and mozzarella cheese provide rich, melted texture. Diced bell peppers and onions introduce mild sweetness and a fresh contrast. The mixture is poured into the tortilla cups and baked at 350°F in two stages, with cheese sprinkled halfway through to create a browned topping. Seasoning with salt and pepper balances the flavors. The cups are tender with cheesy centers inside thin, lightly crisped tortilla shells.

Ingredients
- 8 egg
- 1/2 cup sour cream or milk, or heavy cream
- 1 cup cheese you can use any type, I used cheddar and mozzarella, shredded
- vegetables I used a mixture of bell peppers and onions, diced
- 2 tortilla extra large or 8-12 small
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 12 cup muffin pan and set aside.
- Stack tortillas and cut out 12 small (about 3.5 inch) round circles out of the tortillas, you can use anything that has a rim, can, cup, bowl. If you are using big tortillas cut the four circles out of one tortilla. If you are using small tortillas you will only be able to cut one out of each tortillas. Press each wrap circle into 12 greased muffin tins using your fingers. It's okay if it doesn't fit perfectly, it will balance out after you add the eggs. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whip the eggs and sour cream until fully combined, it's okay if it's a little lumpy, the sour cream will bake into the eggs. Add half of the cheese and set half aside, sprinkle salt and pepper to taste. Pour the equally into the prepared muffin tins ( into the tortillas), then sprinkle the veggies as desired.
- Bake for 10 minutes, after 10 minutes sprinkle the rest of the cheese on the eggs, continue baking for 3-5 minutes more or until cheese is bubbly and tortilla crust is golden. Serve warm, eat using a fork or grab one and bite right in!
