TORTI-YUMS are an easy tortilla breakfast recipe for kids to make on Mother’s Day.
Good cooks know the word: Broil. To melt, crisp or cook food under direct heat. The broiler is the burner/heating element on the ceiling of your oven and cooks your food from above.
INGREDIENTS:
2 eggs
2 Tablespoons shredded cheddar cheese (about 1ounce)
1 six-inch flour tortilla
1 Tablespoon butter, melted
Optional Ingredient: Jarred salsa
TOOLS:
1 small mixing bowl
1 whisk or fork
1 box grater
1 plate
Measuring spoons
1 medium sauté pan
1 pastry brush
1 cookie sheet
DIRECTIONS:
1. Turn your broiler on to high.
2. Next, break the eggs and use the whisk or a fork to scramble them until they are a light yellow color. Set the eggs aside.
3. Place the box grater on a plate or cutting board. Shred the cheese and set aside.
4. Using the pastry brush, brush both sides of the tortilla with butter.
5. Place the tortilla in the sauté pan and cook over medium heat two minutes on a side until the tortilla is lightly browned and slightly crisp. Remove the tortilla from the pan and place on the cookie sheet.
6.Pour the remaining butter in the sauté pan. Over medium heat, pour the eggs into the pan and stir the eggs until they are cooked.
7. Finally, place the browned tortilla on a cookie sheet. Top the tortilla with the scrambled eggs and then cheese. Have your adult place the cookie sheet under the broiler for 30 seconds (count to 30) or until cheese is melted.
8. If desired, serve the Torti-Yum with salsa.
