This Spinach Tomato Tortilla Quiche is a delicious and easy-to-make savory dish that uses tortillas as a unique crust base. Filled with eggs, creamy cottage cheese, fresh spinach, juicy tomatoes, and melted cheddar cheese, it makes for a perfect breakfast, brunch, or light dinner option that’s both flavorful and nutritious.

Ingredients

Crust

  • 2 large (burrito size) tortillas or 5-6 small tortillas

Filling

  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup cottage cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/3 cup chopped spinach
  • 1/2 cup sliced tomatoes or cherry tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F and prepare a 9-inch pie dish by spraying it with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare the tortilla crust: Layer the tortillas inside the pie dish, overlapping them so the edges rise up like a crust. Press firmly to create a stable base that covers the bottom and sides evenly.
  3. Make the egg mixture: In a medium bowl, crack the eggs, add cottage cheese, and season with salt and pepper. Whisk thoroughly until the mixture is fully blended and slightly frothy on top with no white streaks visible.
  4. Assemble the quiche: Pour the whisked egg and cottage cheese mixture over the tortilla crust. Evenly distribute the chopped spinach and layer the sliced tomatoes on top. Finish by sprinkling shredded cheddar cheese evenly across the surface.
  5. Bake the quiche: Place the pie dish on the middle rack of the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and the tortilla crust turns a nice golden brown.
  6. Cool and serve: Remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing and serving. This will help the filling set further and make slicing easier.

Notes

  • Make sure to spray the pie dish with cooking spray thoroughly to prevent the tortillas from sticking.
  • The quiche can be served warm or at room temperature.
  • You can substitute cheddar cheese with your preferred cheese variety, such as mozzarella or Monterey Jack.
  • For added flavor, consider adding herbs like basil or oregano to the egg mixture.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently before serving.
