Mexican-Inspired Tortilla Quiche

This tortilla quiche is a fun fusion of French and Mexican-inspired flavors, using a flour tortilla in place of traditional pastry for a lighter, easier crust. The filling combines eggs, sour cream, colorful vegetables, and cheese for a creamy, satisfying texture with just a little heat from the chili flakes.

It’s also a great recipe for busy days, since there’s no pastry to prepare or roll out. Serve it warm for brunch or lunch, pair it with a fresh salad for a simple dinner, or let it cool slightly and slice it into wedges for an easy snack or appetizer.

Ingredients

 

US CustomaryMetric

 

1x2x3x

• 1 large flour tortilla
• 2 eggs
• 150 ml sour cream
• 150 g frozen Mexican-style mixed vegetables , thawed and well drained
• 150 g Sofia cheese diced (Feta cheese works also well)
• salt to taste
• black pepper to taste
• chili flakes to taste

Instructions

 

• Preheat the oven to 170°C (340°F).
• Place the tortilla in a small round baking dish or ovenproof pan, about 20 cm (8 inches) in diameter. Gently press it into the base and up the sides to form a crust.
• Thaw the frozen vegetables and drain them well to remove any excess moisture. Spread them evenly over the tortilla.
• Scatter the diced cheese over the vegetables.
• In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, sour cream, salt, black pepper, and chili flakes until smooth.
• Pour the egg mixture evenly over the vegetables and cheese. Gently tilt the pan if needed to distribute the filling evenly. Sprinkle a little extra cheese over the top, if desired.
• Bake for 35–45 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is lightly golden. The center may still have a very slight wobble when removed from the oven.
• Let the quiche rest for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
• Enjoy!

I simply love cooking and talking about food and recipes so much so that I dropped my successful corporate advertising career five years ago to become a full-time food blogger. And I couldn't be happier. What excites me? Sharing flavors that transport me back to my childhood, using the tricks I learned from my mom for preparing treats, and experimenting with new ingredients while exploring the forgotten corners of local (and beyond) gastronomy.
