Frequently Asked Questions
Why toast the tortilla strips first?
Drying them gives the pie structure so it does not turn to mush, and the strips soak up the egg custard while keeping a little bite.
Can I use a regular oven?
Yes — bake at 180°C for about 20–25 minutes until the centre is set and the top is golden, rather than the 15-minute air-fry.
What protein can I swap in?
Leftover rotisserie chicken, ham, turkey or even canned tuna all work. Use cooked protein since the bake is short.
