I mean, c’mon guys, super fast to prepare and highly customizable too; what more could you want in a meal? I had myself some leftover veggies and homemade tortillas after making this tangy wrap a couple days back and I wanted none of those to go to waste. Making the wrap again the second time in a row would have been boring so I decided to turn things up a notch by getting creative in the kitchen and this is what I had in mind. With the vegetables of my choice, some low feta cheese, spices and a few minutes time to prep on my hands, I was able to make this quiche with tortillas as the crust! It’s everything I love in the tart and more, plus it’s loaded with cheese, eggs and milk, making it a wonderful addition to my high protein meal plan. Have it for breakfast, as a quick lunch or sneak it in for dinner, throwing in just about any ingredient you please, like the ones I used below. It’s super quick as well, as most of the actual cooking time is the quiche in the oven! I first saw something like this on Tiktok (or was it Facebook?) and I felt inspired to make our own veggie version. Here’s what you’ll need!

Ingredients

Filling When it comes to a quiche, it’s all about the filling and for this one, eggs are pretty much the star of the show. The cheese is also a must have and in this recipe, I used some low fat feta cheese but creamy goat cheese would do too (I’m not a massive fan). You could also try it out with cottage cheese or even some Greek Yogurt if that’s your style. For the milk, go wild and pick just about any of your choice. Almond, low fat, skimmed, just any that suits your palate best. Veggies Nothing brightens up a meal better than veggies do and when it comes to quiches, they’re the bits I look forward to the most. After making myself that killer tangy veggie wrap, I had some bell peppers left over so I diced them up and threw them into my quiche. Digging into my freezer, I got out I some, zucchini and cherry tomatoes I saved from previous meals and decided to toss them all in there. If you’ve got loads of leftover veggies, it’ll be a shame to let them go to waste when you can just cook up this quiche and incorporate them all in! Cremini mushrooms, cauliflower, you name it – it can go in here. Tortillas If this high-protein quiche was a house, the tortilla crust would be the foundation. They make an amazing base for this quiche. Tortillas are much lighter than the standard pie crust and much different from the regular quiche crust, making them a lot more exciting than what I’m used to. For this recipe, I used two large burrito tortillas to make the tortilla crust. Either corn tortillas, low carb tortillas (if you’re on a keto diet) or even cassava tortillas would work. Overall it’s a great way to use up leftover tortillas (or soft tacos) or any leftover vegetables.
