Preheat your oven – Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and let it warm up while you prep the ingredients. This ensures your quiche bakes evenly and reaches that golden, crispy perfection.
Prepare the tortilla crust – Lightly grease your baking dish (a 9-inch pie dish or 8x8-inch square pan works great). Layer the flour tortillas to cover the bottom of the dish, slightly overlapping to create a complete crust. If you’re using larger tortillas, you may want to trim them to fit snugly.
Mix the egg filling – In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, and pepper until smooth. This creates the creamy base for your quiche.
Add the cheese and veggies – Stir in your shredded cheese, then fold in the vegetables and protein of choice. If you're using delicate veggies like spinach, sauté them lightly beforehand to remove excess moisture. This step helps prevent your quiche from becoming soggy.
Pour the mixture into the dish – Carefully pour the egg and veggie mixture over the tortillas. Use a spoon to evenly distribute everything, ensuring the filling seeps between the tortillas for even cooking.
Bake to perfection – Place your dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the quiche is set and the top is golden brown. You can test it by inserting a toothpick in the center—it should come out clean when done.
Cool and serve – Allow the quiche to cool for approximately 10 minutes before slicing. This resting time helps the filling set properly, making it easier to cut clean, even portions.
