Mini Breakfast Tostadas
These are a hit on any breakfast or brunch table. Mini Breakfast Tostadas are a crispy little tortilla loaded with refried beans, scrambled eggs, and salsa , plus anything else you want to add as a topping. For instance, crumbled bacon certainly, but also shredded cheese, then a sprinkle of cilantro. Delicious!
Mini Breakfast Tostadas are fun to set up as a tostada bar where everyone can add their favorite toppings. Start with the base, then after that, they’re on their own.
As a result, everyone walks away from the table happy and full. Win win.
Making Mini Breakfast Tostadas
Start by crisping up the tortillas.
Preheat the oven to 350° and lay out the tortillas on a cookie sheet in a single layer.
Then, brush a little olive oil over the tortillas, and bake for about 10 – 12 minutes, or until they’re crispy.
You can tell by looking at them that the edges are just starting to curl up.
While the oven is still hot, try Easy Baked Bacon. In short, baked bacon keeps your stove top clean and the bacon turns out perfectly crispy.
Next, heat the refried beans while you get the toppings out.
Toppings
The toppings can be anything you like to eat, but keep in mind that a street taco is only about 3 1/2″ wide, so the toppings can’t be too big.
For instance, if you want to add bacon, and who doesn’t, you’ll have to crumble the bacon.
Also, if everyone wants cheese on them, you can add it to the scrambled eggs when you’re cooking them.
Otherwise, serve the shredded cheese after the eggs at the tostada bar so the cheese melts over the warm eggs.
Other toppings could be diced green onion, salsa or pico de gallo, jalapeño slices, guacamole, or fresh cilantro to name a few.
Some people even put ketchup on their eggs. Gross, I know, but whatever floats your boat, right?
So, with the tortillas done, the beans are hot, and the toppings are out, all that’s left to do now is to scramble the eggs.
So let’s talk scrambled eggs. Add milk? Add water? There are a lot of opinions out there.
I recommend you do whatever you usually do.
Some people add milk for creamier eggs. Some add water for fluffier eggs. Gordon Ramsay adds creme fraiche.
Another chef says to not add anything, except butter.
So, that’s what I do. I melt the butter while I whisk the eggs with a fork, then add salt and pepper.
Uncomplicated; just how I like it.
So, now that everything’s cooked, let’s set up the tostada bar.
From the starting point, have the crispy corn tortillas and the beans. The beans go on first.
Second, have the scrambled eggs.
Everything else is pretty much up to you, depending on what you’ve put out.
Think bigger items go on first, smaller on the very top; like a pyramid.
Then eat. Yay! My favorite part.

My Collected Recipes:
A quick mention of this wonderful blank recipe book that I helped to create with a very dear friend. Write in one or more recipes before giving it to that special person, then they can fill the remaining pages with their favorites, and/or have other special people write out recipes for them. It’s personal, and yes, it takes time and effort — something we’ve gotten away from with all this technology. Check it out HERE where you can order a hard or soft cover. Once there, click on READ SAMPLE to see the pages within. I especially like the “measurements and conversions” page. Also, I make no money from any sales, I just love the idea of this book. Missing my mom as I do, seeing her handwriting always makes me feel closer to her. Give that gift to someone else by writing out a favorite recipe.
