What makes this recipe special is the texture and flavor of the baked tortilla. Baking them brings out a roasty, crisp quality that’s irresistible. And while you can certainly use corn tortillas, we find that brown rice tortillas offer a unique crunch and flavor profile. They also hold up well under the weight of toppings like eggs and salsa, making each bite a delight.

These tostadas are incredibly versatile. Whether you’re craving a quick weekday breakfast or a leisurely weekend brunch, they’re ready in just 15-20 minutes. Feel free to get creative with your toppings! Add a dollop of our cashew cream from our Tofu Scramble Recipe, or simply keep it classic with salsa, veggies, cheese, and sour cream, or a slice of avocado. This recipe is a delightful change from the usual breakfast fare, offering a crispy, baked treat that’s both satisfying and wholesome.

Start your day with a fiesta of flavor! These gluten-free breakfast tostadas are quick, easy, and totally customizable. Crispy tortillas topped with eggs and your favorite toppings – what’s not to love?
Ingredients
For the Tostadas:
- 2 brown rice tortillas (or other gluten-free tortilla, such as Food for Life brand)
- Salt, pepper, and garlic powder
- Olive oil
- 2 large eggs
Optional Toppings:
- Salsa
- Red onion
- Kale
- Radish
- Sour cream
- Cheese
- Avocado slices or guacamole
- Hot sauce
Instructions
- Prepare the Oven & Tortillas: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (204 C). Place the gluten-free tortillas on a baking sheet.
- Season the Tortillas: Brush both sides of the tortillas with olive oil. Then, generously sprinkle with sea salt, pepper, and garlic powder. This is key to getting that delicious, savory flavor.
- Customize (Optional): If your gluten-free tortillas are too large, use a pizza cutter to trim them into smaller circles. Cut the leftover scraps into “chips” to bake alongside the tostada circles for extra crunch!
- Bake to Perfection: Bake the seasoned tortillas for 5-10 minutes. Keep a close eye on them, as they can quickly turn from golden to burnt. You want them brown and crispy on both sides.
- Cook the Eggs: While the tostadas are baking, cook your eggs to your liking. Over-easy, scrambled, poached – whatever your heart desires!
- Assemble & Enjoy: Remove the crispy gluten-free tostadas from the oven and top with your cooked eggs and all your favorite toppings. Salsa, veggies, a dollop of sour cream…the possibilities are endless!
