Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup milk (or a dairy-free alternative)
- 4 large flour tortillas (8-inch diameter)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese blend)
- 1 cup diced vegetables (e.g., bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, spinach)
- ½ cup cooked chicken or turkey (optional)
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp paprika
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp olive oil (for greasing)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease an 8-inch round baking dish or pie pan with olive oil.
- Prepare Tortilla Crust: Press one tortilla into the bottom of the dish, letting the edges come up the sides. Layer the remaining tortillas, slightly overlapping, to form a crust that covers the sides and bottom of the dish.
- Prepare Filling: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until smooth. Stir in the diced vegetables, cheese, and optional cooked chicken or turkey.
- Assemble Quiche: Pour the egg mixture into the tortilla-lined dish, spreading it evenly.
- Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the eggs are set in the center and lightly golden on top.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the quiche to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing into wedges. Serve warm.
Notes
- Feel free to customize with your favorite vegetables, such as zucchini, cherry tomatoes, or broccoli.
- For a spicier kick, add diced jalapeños or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes.
