A quick and easy breakfast recipe featuring crispy tortilla chips topped with fluffy scrambled eggs, melted cheddar cheese, bacon, and fresh toppings for a perfect morning meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups (120g) tortilla chips, store-bought or homemade
  • 6 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) whole milk or cream
  • 1 1/2 cups (170g) shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 6 slices bacon, cooked crisp and chopped
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 jalapeño, thinly sliced (optional)
  • 1 cup (150g) cherry tomatoes, halved
  • A handful fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons (30g) unsalted butter
  • Sour cream for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 8-10 minutes. Transfer to paper towels and chop into bite-sized pieces.
  3. Whisk the eggs with milk, salt, and pepper until pale and frothy.
  4. Heat butter in a non-stick skillet over low-medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture and let sit for 20 seconds. Gently stir every 15-20 seconds until eggs are just set but still moist, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat.
  5. Spread tortilla chips evenly on the baking sheet. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the chips.
  6. Dollop scrambled eggs evenly on top of the cheese-covered chips. Scatter chopped bacon, cherry tomatoes, jalapeños (if using), and green onions over the eggs.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 5-7 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly and chips are golden and crisp.
  8. Remove from oven, garnish with chopped cilantro, and serve immediately with sour cream or hot sauce.

Notes

Cook eggs gently over low heat for creamy texture. Melt cheese on chips before adding eggs to prevent sogginess. Serve immediately for best crunch. Store leftovers in airtight container and reheat in oven to maintain crispness.
