Ingredients
  

  • 6 small flour tortillas (6-inch)
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup chopped red bell pepper
  • 1/4 cup chopped spinach
  • 1/4 cup chopped onion
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Equipment

  • muffin tin
  • mixing bowl
  • skillet
  • whisk
  • spoon

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F and grease a muffin tin.
  2. Cut tortillas into quarters and press two pieces into each muffin cup to form shells.
  3. Heat olive oil and sauté onion and bell pepper for 3–4 minutes. Add spinach and cook until wilted.
  4. Whisk eggs, milk, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
  5. Stir vegetables and cheese into the egg mixture.
  6. Fill each tortilla cup about three-quarters full with the mixture.
  7. Bake for 18–20 minutes until set and lightly golden.
  8. Cool slightly, remove from tin, and serve warm.

Notes

Press tortillas firmly into the muffin tin to keep their shape while baking. Do not overfill the cups to avoid spilling. Sauté vegetables before adding to prevent excess moisture. Let quiches cool slightly before removing for best structure.
