Ingredients
4 medium flour tortillas (or corn tortillas for a gluten-free option)
6 large eggs
1 cup milk (or dairy-free milk alternative)
1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your choice)
1/2 cup diced bell peppers
1/2 cup chopped spinach
1/4 cup diced onions
1/2 cup cooked and crumbled beef or chicken sausage (optional)
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
Fresh parsley or chives for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare the tortilla crust: Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish. Arrange tortillas to cover the bottom and sides, trimming any overhang. (For a crispier crust, pre-bake for 5 minutes.)
- Make the egg mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika.
- Assemble the quiche: Evenly spread bell peppers, spinach, onions, and cooked sausage over the tortilla crust. Pour the egg mixture on top and sprinkle with shredded cheese.
- Bake for 30–35 minutes, until the center is set and the edges are golden brown.
- Cool & Serve: Let the quiche rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh parsley or chives and serve warm.
