Alright y'all, the start of a new year always gives me that quiet push to reset. Not in a “new me” way, but in a let’s feel stronger and more energized way. For me, that means simple, nourishing meals that actually fit into busy mornings. Bonus points if my kids will eat them without a fight.
Here's a weekend tortilla breakfast bake recipe, a protein-packed egg cup snack, and the grocery deals to make both recipes even more affordable.
How To Get the Deal
Shop for Eggland's Best Eggs and Mission Tortillas at select nationwide retailers. We're seeing it at Kroger, Albertsons, Safeway and more.

TIP: Be sure to add your purchase to your Eggland's Best Loyalty Card. If you’re already buying Eggland’s Best eggs, you can upload receipts toward EB’s Loyalty Card stamps to earn toward a $4 payout when you stick with better-for-you goals. The $4 payout will be sent via PayPal or Venmo.
Why Eggland's Best and Mission?
While I'm never one to shy away from store-brand anything, when I can get a deal on Eggland's Best — I jump on it. Every. Time. Why? Eggland’s Best eggs have 25% less saturated fat and more Omega-3s than ordinary eggs. I've got kids, so slipping in any added nutrition at a good price is an absolute win-win for me.
And Mission Carb Balance tortillas have high fiber and zero sugar, but taste like normal tortillas, which make them ideal for my picky eaters. They've also got Protein or Gluten-Free tortilla options, so you can customize these recipes to your needs.
Weekend Tortilla Egg Breakfast Bake Recipe
On weekends when I don’t feel like standing over the stove, this tortilla egg bake is my go-to. It’s easy to customize with whatever veggies I have on hand and makes enough to feed everyone.
Ingredients (serves 6 - 8)
-
5 Mission Carb Balance or Zero Net Carb tortillas, torn to fit the bottom of the pan
-
8 Eggland’s Best eggs
-
½ cup cottage cheese (optional)
-
½ cup milk or dairy alternative of your choice
-
Salt and pepper
-
1 cup veggies of choice (spinach, bell peppers, onions, mushrooms)
-
Optional add-ins: cooked turkey sausage, black beans, salsa, cheese
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a 9×9 baking dish.
-
Layer tortillas across the bottom of the dish, slightly overlapping to fully cover the base.
-
Sprinkle veggies evenly over the tortillas (and protein or cheese if using).
-
In a bowl, whisk eggs, cottage cheese, milk, salt, and pepper until smooth.
-
Pour egg mixture over the tortilla base, making sure everything is evenly covered.
-
Bake uncovered for 30 - 35 minutes, or until the center is set and the edges are lightly golden.
-
Let cool 5 - 10 minutes, then slice and serve.
KCL TIP: You can lightly toast the tortilla layer before assembling, or bake uncovered the full time for a firmer base.
Single-Serve Egg Cup Snack Recipe
These are my favorite make-ahead option when everyone’s rushing out the door. Make a batch on Sunday, cool completely, and pop them into the freezer individually wrapped. In the mornings, microwave for 60 - 90 seconds and enjoy.
Ingredients (serves 6)
-
6 Eggland’s Best eggs
-
½ cup cottage cheese
-
6 Mission Carb Balance or Zero Net Carb tortillas
-
Salt and pepper
-
Optional add-ins: spinach, bell peppers, onions, salsa
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease a muffin tin.
-
Press one tortilla into each muffin cup to form a base.
-
Whisk eggs with cottage cheese, salt, and pepper.
-
Pour egg mixture into each tortilla cup.
-
Add veggies if using.
-
Bake 18 - 22 minutes, until set.
KCL TIP: Skip watery veggies (like tomatoes) if freezing. Spinach, peppers, and onions hold up best.
