For the Quiche:

- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 1 cup 100g shredded cheddar cheese

For Serving (Optional):

Instructions
Prep the Oven and Dish
- I preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and spray a 9-inch pie dish with nonstick cooking spray to ensure a crisp, non-stick savory tortilla bake.
Form the Tortilla Crust
- I arrange 4 flour tortillas in the pie dish, overlapping them to cover the bottom and sides, pressing gently into the corners for a sturdy, golden crust for this cheesy egg quiche.
Mix the Filling
- In a large bowl, I whisk 6 eggs, ¾ cup milk, ½ tsp salt, and ¼ tsp black pepper until smooth and frothy, creating a creamy base for this crispy tortilla pie.
Add Fillings
- I stir in 1 cup cheddar cheese, ½ cup Monterey Jack or mozzarella, optional bacon or sausage, ½ cup diced bell peppers, and ¼ cup green onions, mixing well for a flavorful savory tortilla bake.
Assemble and Bake
- I pour the egg mixture into the tortilla-lined dish, spreading evenly, and bake for 30–35 minutes until the eggs are set and the top is golden. I let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing this cheesy egg quiche.
Notes
- Swap tortillas for gluten-free wraps if needed.
- Feel free to add spinach, mushrooms, or tomatoes for extra veggies.
- Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a light dinner.
