Easy Tortilla Quiche Recipe (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
→ Base & Filling
01 -
1 large whole wheat tortilla
02 -
3 large eggs
03 -
1/4 cup low fat cottage cheese
04 -
1/2 cup chopped veggies of your choice (I throw in baby spinach)
05 -
1/3 cup shredded cheese (try a tex mex blend for extra flavor)
→ Seasonings
06 -
1/4 tsp salt
07 -
1/4 tsp garlic powder
08 -
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper (adjust for your spice preference)
09 -
Fresh ground black pepper to taste
# Instructions:
01 -
Move your oven rack to the middle and heat things up to 350°F. This helps cook everything evenly.
02 -
Gently press the tortilla into an 8-inch cake pan, letting it naturally take the shape of the pan to create your quiche crust.
03 -
Toss your eggs, cottage cheese, and all those tasty spices into a small blender and blend until smooth (about 10-15 seconds). No blender? Just whisk everything together really well.
04 -
Pour your creamy egg mixture directly into the tortilla shell, then sprinkle your chopped veggies and cheese on top.
05 -
Slide it into the oven for about 20-25 minutes, until the eggs are fully set and the tortilla edges get that gorgeous golden color.
06 -
Let your quiche cool for 5 minutes before taking it out of the pan. Cut into quarters and enjoy hot, or pack it up for a delicious lunch later!
# Notes:
01 -
This healthy tortilla quiche makes a protein-packed lunch that'll keep you satisfied for hours.
02 -
Feel free to customize with your favorite veggies - bell peppers, mushrooms, and tomatoes all work beautifully.
