Shredded tortilla pizza slices 4 tortillas and 100 g of ham into thin strips, coats them in a custard of 3 eggs, 100 ml of cream, salt and Italian herbs, presses the mix into a pan and bakes it under pizza sauce, mozzarella and pepperoni at 180 °C for 25 minutes. Thicker than pizza, closer to a savory pie — the viral TikTok bake that actually works. Serves 4.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why did my pizza come out soggy in the middle?
The strips were likely swimming in custard: 3 eggs + 100 ml cream is exactly enough to coat 4 tortillas and the ham, not pool underneath. Press the layer flat, and if your pan is smaller than ~24 cm, add 5 more minutes uncovered.
Can I swap the ham and pepperoni?
Yes — cooked chicken, bacon or salami all work in the strips, and any pizza topping works on top. Keep raw meat out: 25 minutes at 180 °C is calibrated for toppings that are already cooked or cure-safe.
Is this actually pizza?
No — and that’s the point. The egg-and-cream custard bakes the tortilla “noodles” into something between a pasta bake and a deep-dish slice. Expect a savory pie with pizza flavors, sliceable after 5 minutes of rest.
