Recipe Overview

  • Prep Time: 10 minutes
  • Cook Time: 15–20 minutes
  • Servings: 1–2 portions

Ingredients

For the Stuffed Crust & Base:

  • 1 large flour tortilla wrap
  • 4 small precooked breakfast sausages (or hot dog links)
  • 1 large egg yolk (for brushing)
  • 1 tsp sesame seeds

For the Cheesy Egg Topping:

  • 2–3 large eggs
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (divided)
  • ½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • ¼ tsp salt (or to taste)
  • ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Build the Sausage Stuffed Crust

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the large tortilla flat on the tray. Position the 4 sausages along the four outer edges of the tortilla. Carefully fold the edges of the tortilla inward over the sausages, pressing gently or securing with toothpicks if needed to seal them in place.

2. Add Cheese & Cherry Tomatoes

Sprinkle ½ cup of shredded mozzarella cheese evenly across the center base of the tortilla. Arrange the halved cherry tomatoes on top of the cheese layer.

3. Pour the Seasoned Egg Mixture

In a small bowl, whisk the 2 or 3 eggs together with chopped fresh parsley, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Carefully pour the beaten egg mixture over the cheese and cherry tomatoes in the center of the tortilla.

4. Add Final Cheese & Garnish Edges

Scatter the remaining ½ cup of mozzarella cheese over the egg topping. Brush the folded sausage-stuffed edges evenly with the beaten egg yolk, then sprinkle with sesame seeds.

5. Bake to Golden Perfection

Place the baking tray in the preheated oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the eggs in the center are fully set, the mozzarella is bubbly and melted, and the stuffed crust is golden brown and crisp.

6. Slice and Serve

Remove from the oven, let it cool for 2 minutes, slice into quarters, and serve hot!

Helpful Cooking Tips

  • Prevent Moisture: Halve the cherry tomatoes and pat them lightly with a paper towel before adding them to the tortilla to keep the base crispy.
  • Seal the Edges Firmly: Press down firmly when folding the tortilla around the sausages so the crust holds its shape during baking.
  • Keep an Eye on the Oven: Because tortillas are thin, watch the edges closely toward the end of baking so they turn golden without over-browning.

Tasty Customization Ideas

  • Meat Variations: Swap the sausages for pepperoni slices, cooked bacon bits, or diced ham.
  • Spicy Kick: Sprinkle crushed red pepper flakes or drizzle sriracha over the eggs before baking.
  • Veggie Additions: Add sliced black olives, diced bell peppers, or baby spinach to the egg center.
