1 Whole Wheat Tortilla
1/2 cup Fresh Baby Spinach
2 tablespoons Smoked Cheddar Cheese

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your air fryer to 325 degrees F (170 degrees C).
Step 2: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and cottage cheese until well combined.
Step 3: Place the whole wheat tortilla into a round cake pan, shaping it to form a small bowl. Pour the egg and cottage cheese mixture into the tortilla bowl. Top evenly with fresh baby spinach and smoked cheddar cheese.
Step 4: Cook in the air fryer for 12 minutes, or until the egg is fully set and the cheese has melted.

Tips & Variations

For extra flavor, add chopped herbs like chives or parsley to the egg mixture before cooking.
Swap smoked cheddar for feta or goat cheese for a different taste profile.
Use a gluten-free tortilla if you prefer a gluten-free version.
If your air fryer pan isn’t non-stick, lightly grease it to prevent sticking.

Storage

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in the air fryer or microwave to maintain texture. It’s best enjoyed fresh for optimal flavor and texture.
