# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Eggs, cheese, and shells bake together in one pan for a breakfast that practically makes itself
  • Perfect for feeding a crowd without standing over the stove
02 -
  • Warming the taco shells for 30 seconds before filling prevents them from cracking in the oven
  • Overfilling the shells makes them soggy, so leave a little room at the top
03 -
  • Use freshly shredded cheese instead of pre-shredded for better melting
  • Let the tacos cool for the full 2 minutes or the filling will slide right out when you take a bite
