charisstomaAnother thing I curse or thank tsuki no bara for. If I wasn't looking for Apple Lasagna, I wouldn't have found this. And there are other evil things at the link using tortillas.
Egg Cups

6 corn tortillas
6 eggs
Salt and Pepper
Cream (optional)
Herbs of choice – chopped
Parmesan- grated
The recipe called for six corn tortillas. The market offered them only in packs of 50. Even though the tortillas didn't cost much, I had more than 40 tortillas to use up and I wasn't in the mood for tacos, quesadillas or the ubiquitous pinwheels.
With sincere apologies to Mexican-food purists, here are some atypical ways to use tortillas.
1. Make "toast"
Heat them up either directly in a skillet with no oil (for slightly crisp) or wrapped in damp kitchen towel and microwaved (for soft and moist). You can eat them plain, top them with butter and jam, or use them to sop up egg yolks.
2. Make egg cups
First, nuke the 6-inch tortilla in the microwave for about 10 seconds (20 to 30 seconds if you're heating three or four at a time) just to soften. Gently place the tortilla in a muffin tin to make a cup; the edges will flute. Crack an egg in the cup. Add salt and pepper, a dash of cream (optional), chopped herbs of your choice and grated Parmesan. Bake in a 350-degree oven for 15 to 20 minutes, depending on how done you like your eggs. Serve the egg cups with mixed greens for brunch.
