How to make Folded Tortilla Pizza

Tips from the cook

  • Fold the four sides in tightly and hold them with the toothpicks, so the egg does not leak out.
  • Brush the folded edges with egg, so they bake golden and crisp.
  • Count the toothpicks going in and coming out, so none ends up in a slice.
  • Cut into four squares once it has cooled slightly, so the filling holds together.
