Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 1 large flour tortilla
Egg Mixture
- 4 eggs, whisked
- 30 g (1 cup) chopped spinach
- 6 cherry tomatoes, halved
- 8 olives, halved
- 2 spring onions (scallions), sliced
- 0.25 red bell pepper, diced
- 40 g (0.33 cup) mature cheddar cheese, grated
- 20 g (0.25 cup) feta cheese, crumbled
Garnish
- Chives, to serve
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the quiche.
- Prepare the Tortilla Base: Place the large flour tortilla in a greased pie dish or baking tin, gently pressing it down to cover the bottom and sides, creating a base for the quiche.
- Mix the Egg Filling: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs until fully combined. Add chopped spinach, halved cherry tomatoes, halved olives, sliced spring onions, diced red bell pepper, grated cheddar cheese, and crumbled feta cheese. Mix thoroughly to combine all ingredients evenly.
- Assemble the Quiche: Pour the egg and vegetable mixture over the tortilla base in the baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is lightly golden.
- Cool and Garnish: Remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Sprinkle chopped fresh chives on top before serving for a burst of color and flavor.
Notes
- You can substitute the flour tortilla with a whole wheat or gluten-free tortilla if preferred.
- Feel free to add other vegetables like mushrooms or zucchini to customize the quiche.
- Use a non-stick spray or butter to grease the baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Check the quiche at 25 minutes to avoid overcooking; the eggs should be set but still moist.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
