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

  1. Preheat Your Equipment: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease your pie dish or oven-safe skillet with olive oil spray.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Assemble the Dish: Pour the egg mixture into the tortilla-lined dish, smoothing it out evenly.
  5. 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.
  6. Finishing Touches: Let the quiche rest for 5–10 minutes after baking so it sets beautifully when sliced.
  7. 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.
