Tortilla Quiche Bake
A tortilla quiche bake is a delightful twist on the traditional quiche. Instead of using a pie crust, it incorporates tortillas as the base and layers them with eggs, cheese, and various fillings, making it a hearty and versatile meal. Perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner!
Equipment
- Baking Dish

- 1/4 tsp Black Pepper

Notes
Feel free to customize the quiche by adding meats like bacon, sausage, or chicken, or use more vegetables to suit your preferences. For a gluten-free version, you can use corn tortillas instead of flour tortillas.
