# Method steps:

01 - Preheat oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a rimmed sheet pan with olive oil or nonstick spray.
02 - Arrange tortillas on the sheet pan, folding up the edges slightly to create shallow cups.
03 - Whisk eggs with whole milk, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika until fully combined.
04 - Divide the egg mixture evenly among the tortilla cups. Sprinkle shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses over the eggs.
05 - Distribute diced cherry tomatoes, red onion, bell pepper, and optionally cooked sausage or bacon over the cheese.
06 - Bake for 16 to 18 minutes, or until eggs are set and cheese is melted.
07 - Remove from oven and top with sliced avocado, chopped cilantro, and a spoonful of salsa. Serve immediately.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Everything cooks together on one pan, which means minimal cleanup and maximum time with people you actually want to see.
  • The edges of the tortillas get crispy while the eggs stay creamy, giving you different textures in every bite.
  • You can prep the toppings ahead and let everyone customize their own once it comes out of the oven.
02 -
  • Don't overbake these or the eggs will pull away from the sides and get watery; 16 to 18 minutes is genuinely the right window.
  • The tortillas will stay crispy on the edges only if your sheet pan has a rim and you use a small amount of oil, not a slick coating.
03 -
  • Don't skip the milk in the egg mixture; it's the difference between eggs that are fluffy and tender versus ones that taste like they came from a food truck.
  • If your tortillas feel dry or brittle, dampen them very slightly with water before folding them up, and they'll be more flexible without turning soggy.
