Cooking Tips
- Tortilla crust: To prevent the tortilla crust from becoming too soggy, you might want to pre-bake it for about 5-7 minutes before adding the egg and vegetable mixture.
- Customize your veggies: Feel free to swap out or add different vegetables based on seasonality or personal preference. This recipe is great for using up whatever vegetables you have on hand.
- Cheese options: If you're looking to lower the fat content, you can opt for low-fat parmesan cheese or even skip the cheese altogether and add nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavour without the dairy.
