Ingredients

Scale

For the Tortilla Crust:

3 large flour tortillas (8–10 inches)
1 tbsp butter or olive oil (for greasing)

For the Egg Mixture:

6 large eggs
½ cup milk or heavy cream
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
½ tsp garlic powder (optional)
½ tsp paprika

For the Filling:

½ cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend)
½ cup cooked bacon or ham (optional)
½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved
¼ cup chopped onions (red or green onions)
½ cup spinach or bell peppers, chopped

For Garnishing (Optional):

Fresh parsley or cilantro
Extra cheese
Hot sauce or salsa

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Crust

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Grease a 9-inch pie dish with butter or oil.
Layer the tortillas in the dish, slightly overlapping to form a crust. Press them down to fit snugly.

Step 2: Make the Egg Mixture

In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
Stir in half of the cheese for extra creaminess.

Step 3: Assemble the Quiche

Evenly distribute the veggies, bacon/ham, and cheese over the tortilla crust.
Pour the egg mixture over the fillings.
Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.

Step 4: Bake

Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the eggs are set and golden brown.
Let it cool for 5–10 minutes before slicing.

Step 5: Serve & Enjoy!

Garnish with fresh herbs and extra cheese.
Serve with salsa, avocado, or hot sauce for extra flavor!

Notes

Corn tortillas can be used instead of flour for a gluten-free version.
For a thicker quiche, double the tortilla layers for a sturdier crust.
Storage: Refrigerate leftovers for up to 4 days. Reheat in the oven at 325°F (160°C) or microwave for 1–2 minutes.
Make it dairy-free by swapping milk for almond or coconut milk and using dairy-free cheese.
Meal Prep Tip: Assemble the night before, cover, and bake fresh in the morning.
