Quesadilla Quiche
Description
This Quesadilla Quiche transforms a traditional quiche into a savory, handheld delight by incorporating bold Southwestern flavors. A buttery pie crust encases a creamy filling of eggs, sour cream, and a blend of Monterey Jack and Cheddar cheeses. The mix is spiked with chili powder, garlic powder, and fresh tomatoes for a bright, zesty kick. It’s the perfect crossover dish for brunch parties or hearty weeknight dinners, offering the comfort of a quesadilla with the elegance of a quiche. Serve warm with salsa or sour cream for an extra layer of flavor.Ingredients
Directions
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
-
Prepare the pie crust according to package directions for a two-crust pie, using a 10-inch pie plate. Place one prepared crust in the pan, trimming the edges if necessary, and set aside.
-
In a medium skillet, cook the chopped onions in vegetable oil over medium heat until tender and translucent. Remove from heat.
-
To the cooked onions, stir in 1 cup of chopped tomatoes, sliced olives, garlic powder, chili powder, and black pepper. Set this mixture aside to cool slightly.
-
In a small bowl, beat together the eggs and hot pepper sauce until well combined.
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sour cream and salsa/sour cream dip seasoning. Stir in the beaten egg mixture until smooth.
-
Fold the onion and tomato mixture into the egg and sour cream mixture.
-
Sprinkle half of the shredded Monterey Jack and Cheddar cheeses over the bottom of the prepared pie crust.
-
Pour the egg and vegetable mixture evenly over the cheese layer in the crust.
-
Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheeses over the top of the filling.
-
Place the second prepared crust over the filling. Trim excess dough, crimp the edges to seal, and cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set.
-
Allow the quiche to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
