Tortilla Quiche

Easy quiche with a tortilla as the crust.

Ingredients

  • 1 burrito sized tortilla
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup egg whites
  • ½ cup low fat cottage cheese
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp garlic powder
  • ⅛ tsp cayenne pepper
  • ⅛ tsp black pepper, to taste
  • 2 chicken sausages
  • 1 cup veggies
  • ¼ cup shredded cheese

Method

  1. Preheat to 350°F.
  2. Gently press your tortilla into an 8-inch pie pan until it takes the shape of the pan.
  3. Slice chicken sausage. In an oiled and preheated a skillet, sear until browned on both sides.
  4. Chop and sauté (if necessary) any veggies.
  5. In a small blender, add eggs, egg whites, cottage cheese, and spices. Blend until smooth, about 10-15 seconds. If you don't have a blender, simply whisk well.
  6. Pour the cottage cheese mixture into the tortilla.
  7. Add your sausage, vegetables and cheese on top of the egg mixture.
  8. Bake in the oven for 25-35 minutes or until eggs are set and tortilla is lightly golden.
  9. Allow the quiche to cool for 5 minutes before removing from the pan. Slice and enjoy immediately!
