Description
A deliciously crispy tortilla crust filled with a savory, protein-rich egg mixture, perfect for breakfast, brunch, or dinner.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 Large Whole Wheat Tortillas – Acts as the crust, giving a toasty, crunchy foundation.
- 6 Eggs – Provide structure and the main protein source.
- 1/2 cup Greek Yogurt – Adds creaminess and extra protein.
- 3/4 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese – Melts beautifully for that classic quiche richness.
- 1 Red Bell Pepper, diced – Adds color and a sweet crunch.
- 1 cup Spinach, chopped – Brings freshness and an iron-rich boost.
- 1 small Onion, finely chopped – Adds aromatic depth.
- 1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder – For an extra layer of savory flavor.
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt – Enhances all the other flavors.
- 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper – Adds a gentle bite.
- Olive Oil Spray – Prevents sticking and promotes golden crisping.
Instructions
- Preheat Your Equipment: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease your pie dish or oven-safe skillet with olive oil spray.
- Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and Greek yogurt until smooth. Stir in the chopped spinach, bell pepper, onion, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and shredded cheese.
- Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Press the tortillas into the greased dish, overlapping slightly if needed to cover the base and sides. Lightly press into place to form a shell.
- Assemble the Dish: Pour the egg mixture into the tortilla-lined dish, smoothing it out evenly.
- Cook to Perfection: Bake for 30–35 minutes or until the center is set and the top is golden. If the edges brown too quickly, tent with foil.
- Finishing Touches: Let the quiche rest for 5–10 minutes after baking so it sets beautifully when sliced.
- Serve and Enjoy: Cut into wedges and serve warm. It pairs perfectly with a crisp side salad or fruit.
Notes
- Use room temperature eggs for better blending.
- Pre-bake tortillas for extra crispiness.
- Let the quiche rest before slicing to avoid mess.
- Shred your cheese fresh for better melt and texture.
