Egg and Zucchini Breakfast Toastadas are a low carb egg and bacon toastada on a paleo zucchini tortilla. I love Mexican food, and these were a big hit with the whole family.
These do not have any cauliflower which makes my hubby happy, as he hates the smell. I put a fried egg on a zucchini tortilla, and topped with chopped bacon, avocado, salsa, and cilantro. Possibly cheese if you tolerate dairy.
First, I made the zucchini tortilla in the oven, then I flipped it over and when it was done baking I cracked an egg right on it, or you could put an already fried egg on it. I didn't want to make more dishes to clean. You can also fry the egg on the tortilla when the tortilla is done baking also.
Bake tortillas for 10 to 12 minutes then flip over, and bake other side for 8 to 10 minutes. Or can crack an egg on tortilla and bake for 8 to 10 mins or till egg is cooked. Or can also put tortilla in oiled fry pan, then crack egg on it and cover and fry on medium till cooked as desired. Could also place an already fried or scrambled egg on top of tortilla. Then put on desired toppings.

Do the tortillas come out crispy or soft?
Stacey says
Dee, they are soft but the bottom get a little crisp from the pan.
Cristina says
Hi, these look great! I'm new to gluten free, only 1 month now. So many different flours to buy, can I use the all purpose that I bought all ready? Thank you and looking forward to your newsletter!
Stacey says
Hi Cristina, Thank you for stopping by. You probably could use that, but you would need to use 3 to 4 times the amount depending on what kind of flour is in it.
Sian says
Hi I just put the details into my calorie counting app and I have come up nowhere near your calorie count. 2 Tortillas comes out at 240calories - Thats without the fried egg on top and the avocado (half a avo is 300cal!)
Can you please clarify how you got your calories and what the serving is that you counted.
Stacey says
The serving size is for only one tortilla of 2 total servings. Only one tortilla, one egg, and only a 1/4 of a small avocado (the organic avocados I get are rather small). I actually use a pretty acurate software for the nutritional data. At the top of the recipe card it says serves 2, and the servings size is one of 2.
Chelsea says
Just found this recipe on Pinterest. They look totally awesome! Definitely going to have to try them once zucchini is in season! Thank you so much for the recipe!
Stacey says
Chelsea, Thank you. That recipe is one one my very favorites!

Hi Stacey,
Firstly, I'd like to thank you for your well worded, easy grasping, and wonderful work that you share on the www. I used to be a great cook (Chef - at home) but have recently been diagnosed as a Diabetic Type 2. All of a sudden I realized that I know nothing really. I have subscribed to your newsletter and look forward to even catch up with your previous well meaning works. Grateful greetings from South Africa.
Stacey says
Theuns, thank you so much for your kind words. Don't worry, already being able to cook means you will easily be able to adjust to cooking with different ingredients. When I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease, I felt lost and had no idea what I could eat. But now it seems second nature. Wow, South Africa! Hopefully, my site loads okay and not too slow over there.
lesley says
This sounds like a lot of work for breakfast; are they ok if frozen
Stacey says
Lesley, I usually make these on the weekend, as they are not a fast breakfast. But, many viewers have made the tortillas in a bigger batch in advance, and froze them. If I could get organized that would be a faster way to go, lol.
