Cheese Boats with Egg for Breakfast

Directions

1. 1

   Step 1

   

   Soak the toothpicks in water for 5 minutes so they don't burn. Prepare a pan with a good non-stick coating.

2. 2

   Step 2

   

   Cut the cheese into 8 sticks, 5 cm long and 1 cm thick. Coarsely grate the remaining cheese, about 70 g. Slice the sausage thinly.

   TipInstead of boiled sausage, you can use boiled chicken fillet or turkey ham if you prefer.

3. 3

   Step 3

   

   Place 4 cheese sticks on the four sides of the tortilla, 1 cm from the edge. Fold the edges of the tortilla inward so they wrap around the cheese. Secure each folded edge with a toothpick to form sides. Repeat with the second tortilla.

   Step 4

   

   Place 1 tbsp. of tomato sauce in the center of each tortilla and spread it evenly, avoiding the sides. Top the sauce with grated cheese and two slices of sausage on each side.

5. 5

   Step 5

   

   Carefully crack one egg into the center of each boat. Season the yolk with salt and pepper to taste.

   Step 6

   

   Heat the pan over medium heat. Place one boat and cook for 2–3 minutes over medium heat. Add 1 tbsp. of water and cover with a lid. Cook for 7–8 minutes until the egg white sets. Repeat with the second boat.

   TipThe boats can be baked in the oven at 180 °C for about 15-20 minutes. Baking in an air fryer will take a little less time—it all depends on the model and power of the appliance.

   Step 7

   

   Transfer the finished boats to plates, remove the toothpicks, and serve immediately.
