Treat your ingredients with care...

• Feta cheese — Use a high-quality feta cheese for the best flavor. If you don't like feta, you can substitute it with goat cheese or queso fresco.
• Black olives — Use pitted black olives for convenience. You can also substitute them with Kalamata olives or green olives.
• Tortillas — Use small corn tortillas for an authentic Mexican flavor. If you can't find corn tortillas, you can use flour tortillas instead.

Tips & Tricks

• To make the dish spicier, add some chopped jalapeno peppers or red pepper flakes to the tomato sauce.
• You can also add some chopped fresh herbs, such as cilantro or parsley, to the dish for extra flavor.
• If you don't have an oven-safe skillet, you can transfer the eggs to a baking dish before baking in the oven.
• Serve the dish with some fresh avocado slices or guacamole for a creamy and delicious addition.
• If you want to make the dish even healthier, you can use egg whites instead of whole eggs.
