Crinkle Tortilla Casserole
This Crinkle Tortilla Casserole is a fun, comforting twist on classic layered bakes. Soft flour tortillas are folded and tucked into a dish with savory ham and tender spinach, then drenched in a creamy egg custard and finished with melty cheese. It’s an inviting and hearty meal that’s as pleasing to look at as it is to eat.
Crinkle Tortilla Casserole
Ingredients:
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Flour tortillas | 14 to 16 |
| Thinly sliced ham | 10 to 12 slices |
| Cooked, drained spinach | 1 cup |
| Large eggs (beaten) | 2 |
| Whole milk | 1 cup |
| Shredded mozzarella | 1 cup |
| Kosher salt | To taste |
| Fresh cracked black pepper | To taste |
Instructions:
- Preheat & Prep: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8×8-inch baking dish.
- Shape the Tortillas: Fold each tortilla into a wavy, accordion-style shape. Place them upright and snugly next to each other in the prepared dish.
- Add Fillings: Nestle the ham slices and spinach into the folds and spaces between the tortillas, spacing them evenly for every bite to be balanced.
- Mix Custard: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. Season with salt and pepper to your taste.
- Assemble: Pour the egg mixture evenly over the tortillas, letting it flow between and beneath the folds. Sprinkle the top with mozzarella cheese.
- Bake: Place the dish in the oven and bake uncovered for 18–20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, the custard is set, and the top is lightly browned.
- Serve: Let cool for a few minutes before serving warm. Perfect for brunch or a light dinner.
