Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  5. Fold in your chosen diced vegetables and about half of the shredded cheese into the egg mixture.
  6. Gently pour the egg mixture over the layered tortillas in the baking dish.
  7. Layer the remaining tortillas on top, followed by the remaining cheese.
Baking
  1. Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and the center is set.
  2. Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving with toppings of your choice.

Notes

You can customize your Tortilla Quiche with fresh herbs, spicy jalapeños, or a dollop of creamy yogurt. If you prefer, you can swap in any veggies you have on hand like zucchini or mushrooms—just make sure they are halal-friendly! Keep an eye on the baking time and cover with aluminum foil if the edges brown too quickly.
