Description

Start your day with these savory and satisfying tostadas, a delightful combination of textures and flavors perfect for a protein-rich breakfast. These tostadas feature a base of crispy, baked parmesan cheese, offering a naturally sharp and salty foundation that's surprisingly sturdy. The cheese crisps up beautifully in the oven, creating a light yet satisfying crunch that contrasts wonderfully with the soft toppings.

The base is then generously layered with fluffy scrambled eggs, seasoned to perfection with your favorite herbs and spices. The eggs provide a creamy and comforting element, adding a hearty dose of protein to keep you feeling full and energized. Creamy slices of fresh avocado are added, offering a smooth, buttery richness that complements the saltiness of the cheese and the savory eggs.

The avocado not only adds healthy fats but also a cooling sensation that balances the warmth of the other ingredients. Finally, the tostadas are crowned with crispy bacon, crumbled into savory bits that add a smoky, salty, and irresistibly crunchy finish. The bacon provides a burst of flavor in every bite, elevating the tostadas to a truly indulgent breakfast experience.

Feel free to customize these tostadas with additional toppings to suit your taste. A dash of your favorite hot sauce or a sprinkle of fresh cilantro can add a vibrant touch. A squeeze of lime juice can brighten the flavors, while a dollop of sour cream can add extra creaminess.

For those who prefer a vegetarian option, simply omit the bacon and consider adding pan-fried tofu for a protein boost. Diced vegetables like zucchini, mushrooms, spinach, or bell peppers can also be incorporated into the scrambled eggs for added nutrients and flavor. These tostadas are best enjoyed fresh to maintain their crispy texture and vibrant flavors.

They are a delicious and customizable way to enjoy a protein-packed breakfast that will keep you satisfied and ready to tackle the day.

Instructions

    1.
    Turn on an oven to preheat to 375 F (190 C) and line a sheet tray with parchment paper. Shred parmesan cheese from a block, then divide the cheese into ¼-cup portions. Spread each portion out into a thin circle of cheese on your lined sheet tray.
    2.
    Bake the cheese circles anywhere from 8-15 minutes in your oven. You’ll need to watch the cheese as it melts, bubbles then hardens in place. Once the cheese is baked, remove the tray from the oven to cool. The parmesan circles should naturally release from the paper.
    3.
    Make the scrambled eggs for the tostadas by whisking together eggs, heavy cream, salt, pepper, cumin, paprika, cayenne, and onion powder. You can omit the cayenne pepper if you wish. Cook the egg mixture over medium-low heat on your stove while you scramble it.
    4.
    Slice avocado into thin slices. Cook bacon strips until they’re crispy, and you can cut them to size if needed. Assemble each tostada with a parmesan circle, a pile of scrambled eggs, about ½-ounce avocado slices, and 1-2 pieces of bacon.
