This easy cheesy tortilla pie is the definition of low-effort comfort food. Soft tortillas layered with a rich cheese filling and silky egg custard bake into a golden, sliceable pie — think of it as a heartier cousin of a tortilla breakfast stack, with the cozy, spoonable soul of our tuna and spinach tortilla bake. It takes minutes to assemble and never lasts long on the table.
Ingredients
- 2 tortilla or lavash rounds
- 200 g (7 oz) hard cheese, grated, plus 50–100 g (1.8–3.5 oz) cottage cheese
- 200 ml (3/4 cup + 1 tbsp) heavy cream or sour cream
- 3 eggs
- Salt and spices to taste
Instructions
- Press one tortilla round into a baking dish and sprinkle lightly with cheese; cover with the second round.
- For the filling, grate a mix of cheeses and blend with the cottage cheese. Spread evenly over the tortilla.
- Whisk the eggs with the cream, season with salt and spices, and pour over the filling.
- Bake until golden and set.
Tips
- Mix cheeses for the best flavor — mozzarella melts beautifully while a sharper hard cheese adds depth.
- Let the pie rest 5–10 minutes before slicing so the custard firms up and cuts cleanly.
- For safe handling of eggs and dairy, follow the food-safety basics from the USDA — and if you love cheesy bakes, try our crispy lavash pies with chicken and cheese next.
