Why This Recipe Works

The combination of eggs, cream, and yogurt creates a rich custard that binds the tortilla strips together. As it bakes, the tortillas absorb the mixture and puff slightly, giving the dish a soft, soufflé-like texture.

Perfect for Busy Families

This recipe is ideal for:

• Weeknight dinners
• Make-ahead meals
• Potlucks
• Kid-friendly meals

It requires no complicated preparation — just mix, pour, and bake.

Customization Ideas

You can adapt this tortilla bake by:

• Adding vegetables
• Changing the cheese blend
• Using different deli meats

The base structure remains stable and fluffy.

Texture & Flavor

Expect a golden crust on top, a creamy center, and pockets of melted cheese throughout. It slices beautifully once slightly cooled.
