Description

This Social Media Famous Tortilla Quiche is a quick and healthy breakfast or snack option that combines the wholesome goodness of a whole wheat tortilla with a protein-packed egg and cottage cheese mixture, fresh baby spinach, and smoky cheddar cheese.

Ingredients

Scale

Egg Mixture

  • 2 Free Range Eggs
  • 1/4 cup Cottage Cheese

Tortilla Base

  • 1 Whole Wheat Tortilla

Toppings

  • 1/2 cup Fresh Baby Spinach
  • 2 tablespoons Smoked Cheddar Cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 325 degrees F (170 degrees C) and allow it to fully preheat to ensure even cooking of the quiche.
  2. Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a bowl, vigorously whisk together 2 free range eggs and 1/4 cup cottage cheese until the mixture is smooth and well combined, ensuring a creamy base for the quiche.
  3. Assemble the Quiche: Place the whole wheat tortilla into a round cake pan or a heat-safe dish, shaping it gently into a shallow bowl form. Pour the egg and cottage cheese mixture into the tortilla, then evenly top with fresh baby spinach and 2 tablespoons of smoked cheddar cheese to add flavor and texture.
  4. Cook the Quiche: Place the prepared pan into the preheated air fryer and cook for 12 minutes. The quiche is done when the egg is fully set and the cheese is melted and slightly golden.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Carefully remove the quiche from the air fryer, let it cool slightly, then serve warm for a delicious and nutritious meal.
