Ingredients:
Ingredient | Quantity |

Flour Tortillas | 14 to 16 |
Thin Ham Slices | 10 to 12 |
Cooked Spinach (drained) | 1 cup |
Large Eggs (lightly beaten) | 2 |
Whole Milk | 1 cup |

Instructions:
- Preheat oven and prepare casserole dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch casserole dish with baking spray.
- Crinkle and arrange tortillas: Fold each flour tortilla in a zig-zag accordion-like shape. Place the crinkled tortillas vertically into the prepared baking dish, pressing them tightly up against one another to create standing pockets.
- Fill with ham and spinach: Place the thin ham slices and drained cooked spinach into the valleys or pockets created by the crinkled tortillas, distributing them evenly throughout the casserole.
- Prepare egg mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together the lightly beaten eggs and whole milk. Season with kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste.
- Pour egg mixture: Pour the egg-milk mixture evenly over the tortillas, trying to distribute the liquid throughout the casserole, ensuring it seeps into the crinkled pockets.
- Top with cheese: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top of the casserole.
- Bake: Bake uncovered in the preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbling, the cheese is melted and golden brown, and the egg mixture is set.
- Cool and serve: Remove the Crinkle Tortilla Casserole from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Serve warm and enjoy!
