Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Cut rounds from large flour tortillas using a 4-inch cutter and press into a greased cupcake pan.
  2. Crack one egg into each tortilla-lined cup, allowing the yolk to blend with the egg whites.
  3. In a bowl, combine salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Sprinkle the mix over the egg-filled cups.
  4. Gently whisk the eggs in each cup with a fork to mix in the seasoning.
  5. Distribute the cottage cheese, parmesan, cheddar, and jalapeños evenly among the egg-filled cups.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the eggs are fully set and the edges of the tortillas are golden brown.
  7. Remove from oven and cool slightly in the pan before serving warm with salsa or sour cream.
