  4. Spread the mustard out over the top of the tortilla and cover with one handful of cheese, the ham and the remaining cheese.
  5. Spread the jam on one side of the remaining tortilla, dip the other side into the egg mixture and place it on top of everything in the pan with the egg mixture facing up.
