Easy High-Protein Tortilla Quiche

An easy high-protein tortilla quiche with crisp edges, creamy eggs, cottage cheese, and fresh herbs. No pastry, no fuss.
Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Servings 2

Ingredients

  • 1 large tortilla
  • 4 large eggs
  • ½ cup cottage cheese
  • ½ cup diced tomatoes
  • 3 tablespoons crumbled feta
  • 2 tablespoons fresh basil chopped
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Lightly grease a small oven-safe pan or baking dish and press the tortilla into it to form a crust.
  • Crack the eggs directly into the tortilla shell. Add the cottage cheese and gently stir with a fork until just combined.
  • Add the tomatoes, feta, basil, salt, and pepper. Stir lightly to distribute the filling without tearing the tortilla.
  • Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until the eggs are just set in the center.
  • Let cool slightly, then slice and serve warm.

Notes

  • A light brush or spray of oil under the tortilla helps keep the bottom crisp and prevents sticking.
  • For extra crisp edges, brush the exposed tortilla with olive oil before baking.
  • This holds together well once cooled and is just as good at room temperature.
