Method

  1. Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F). If using an air fryer, preheat it to 170°C (340°F).

  2. Line a small baking dish with the tortilla or lavash, gently pressing it into the corners to create a shallow crust.

  3. In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs until smooth. Stir in the cottage cheese, diced ham, chopped tomato, green onions, and half of the grated cheese. Season with black pepper and, if desired, garlic powder, paprika, or Italian herbs for extra flavor.

  4. Pour the egg mixture evenly into the prepared tortilla shell. Sprinkle the remaining cheese generously over the top.

  5. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and the cheese is melted and beautifully golden. If using an air fryer, cook for approximately 15 minutes at 170°C (340°F).

  6. Let the bake rest for 2–3 minutes before slicing. Serve warm with a fresh green salad or crisp cucumber slices for a complete high-protein meal.

Chef's Tip

For an even creamier texture, add a tablespoon of plain Greek yogurt to the egg mixture. A sprinkle of fresh parsley or chives just before serving adds brightness and color.
