It’s been a while since I posted in the Incredibly Easy folder, but today I share two tasty little recipes that will definitely be part of our rotation. First, a tortilla-egg concoction with tomato and cheese, next a tricolor carrot preparation in the air-fryer.
MINI EGG & TOMATO TORTILLA
(inspired by Hungry Happens)
for one serving
spray of olive oil
1 small flour tortilla
4 slices of tomato
1 egg, beaten with salt, pepper and Herbes de Provence
shredded or sliced mozzarella
avocado for serving (optional)
Spray olive oil in a small non-stick skillet, preferably one with the exact same diameter of your tortilla. Place on medium heat and immediately cover the pan with 4 slices of tomato. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Cook for 2 minutes, flip the slices, cook for one minute longer.
Pour the egg over it, and cover it with the tortilla. Cook on medium-low heat until you notice the edges of the egg getting firm and starting to get some color. Carefully flip the tortilla, adding a little more olive oil to the pan before doing so. Add some mozzarella on top, cover the pan and cook until the cheese is melted and the tortilla gets good color at the bottom, probably around 3 more minutes. Serve with avocado slices.
ENJOY!

Comments: The little pan I used was an impulse buy from a while ago, I found it at our grocery store in town and could not resist it. It is 5.5 inches in diameter and worked perfectly for the small tortilla with a single egg. Visit Hungry Happens site to see a bigger version. I actually made it but prefer the small one, easier to handle and perfect as a lunch for yours truly. Next time I will use a slice of mozzarella instead of shredded because it will melt faster. Consider that if you make it.

Moving on….
AIR-FRYED TRICOLOR CARROTS WITH ORANGE
(from The Bewitching Kitchen)
2 carrots of each color (orange, purple, yellow)
olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
squirt of fresh orange juice
Cut the carrots in sticks. Place in a bowl, drizzle olive oil to coat them well. Season with salt and pepper. Squeeze orange juice all over, and immediately air-fry at 400F until done, about 20 minutes, shaking the basket every once in a while.

Comments: This does not get any easier… I know that people who do not own an air-fryer tend to roll their eyes to the ceiling when they read praise about it, but honestly, it is one gadget I adore ad use all the time. The dry air environment makes it cook things faster and provide a texture I prefer when compared to regular oven, especially for root vegetables. But it is also my method of choice for chicken and eggplant parmigiana. I hope you give this recipe a try, even if you have to use a regular oven. It is delicious, and yes, incredibly easy!
