Tortilla Quiche Meal (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
→ Filling & Base
01 -
1/3 cup shredded cheese (a Tex-Mex mix adds extra yum)
02 -
1 large tortilla made with whole wheat
03 -
3 big eggs
04 -
1/4 cup cottage cheese (low fat)
05 -
1/2 cup chopped vegetables of your choice (baby spinach works great)
→ Spices & Seasonings
06 -
Fresh black pepper, adjust to your taste
07 -
1/8 tsp cayenne (go less or more based on how spicy you like it)
08 -
1/4 tsp garlic powder
09 -
1/4 tsp regular salt
# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat your oven to 350°F and make sure the rack's in the middle. This keeps everything cooking evenly.
02 -
Press your tortilla gently into an 8-inch cake pan. It'll naturally shape into a perfect crust.
03 -
Combine the eggs, cottage cheese, and all your spices. A quick blend (10-15 seconds) makes everything silky smooth, but a good whisk works too.
04 -
Pour the egg mix into your tortilla shell. Sprinkle your chopped veggies and shredded cheese over the top layer.
05 -
Pop it in the oven for about 20–25 minutes. You'll know it's ready when the tortilla edges are golden and the eggs are set.
06 -
Let it sit for 5 minutes after baking. Then, gently take it out of the pan, slice into 4 pieces, and dig in—or pack it up for later!
# Notes:
01 -
This handy quiche with a tortilla crust is packed with protein and keeps you full for hours.
02 -
Add in your favorite veggies—like mushrooms, tomatoes, or bell peppers—for a personal twist.
