Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large tortillas (flour or whole wheat)
- 6 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a mix)
- 1/2 cup diced bell peppers (any color)
- 1/4 cup diced onion
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
- Optional: 1/2 cup cooked bacon or sausage, crumbled
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley or cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a round baking dish or pie pan.
- Layer the tortillas: Line the baking dish with the tortillas, overlapping them slightly to create a crust. Press them gently to fit the shape of the pan.
- Prepare the filling: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Stir in the diced bell peppers, onion, tomatoes, and any optional cooked bacon or sausage.
- Assemble the quiche: Sprinkle half of the shredded cheese over the tortilla base. Pour the egg mixture over the cheese, then top with the remaining cheese.
- Bake to perfection: Place the dish in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is golden.
- Cool and serve: Let the quiche cool for 5 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro for a burst of flavor.
Notes
- Add diced jalapeños for a spicy kick.
- Use spinach or mushrooms for a vegetarian twist.
- Serve with a side of salsa or sour cream for extra flavor.
