I recently discovered these fabulous little uncooked flour tortillas by Tortilla Land at Costco. Since they come in massive bulk sizes, I usually buy them and freeze half. The other half, I use to make quesadillas and other random things. For example, this broccoli cheese quiche. The raw tortilla makes the perfect shell.
Broccoli Quiche in Tortilla Shell
- 2 uncooked tortillas
- 8 eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 cup cheddar cheese
- 1 cup broccoli
- 1 cup milk (or half/half)
- Preheat overn to 350
- Lightly spray a medium/large sized ramekin (about 6″). Press one tortilla in each, pressing the ruffled edges down to create a nice cavern. Mix the eggs with milk.
- Sprinkle about 1/3 cup cheddar cheese and half of the broccoli in the bottom of the ramekin. Pour egg mixture over the top. Sprinkle remaining cheese over the tops.
- Loosely cover the ramekins with foil.
- Bake about 30 mins. Remove the foil and continue to bake another 20 minutes or until a toothpick or wooden spear comes out clean.
I served it with some fresh waffles and berries. A fabulous Saturday morning brunch!
Perfect timing! We just bought those tortillas for the first time yesterday. Now I have something to make to help use them all.

FABULOUS idea, and it worked out so well! your eggs are perfectly done, and you were still able to slice through the tortilla so nicely! bravo!
Yes, they turned out fabulously! Let me know how yours turn out if you try it!
That quiche just looks amazing. You did a great job with it! So creative and gorgeous.
Looks terrific! Hope to try it this weekend, thanks!
Oneordinaryday – Thanks! It tasted great, too!
Theresa – Let me know how it turns out!
I’m making them right now, but I’m subbing swiss for the cheddar, and making them spinach. I’ll let you know if it’s as good as yours looks.
This looks sooooo good! I don’t really like eggs that much, but I love a good quiche! I might have to try this. Hmmm.
Just found this and it looks fantastic. My kind of eating. Just one question – what’s an uncooked tortilla????
Hi Tracy – An uncooked tortilla is a pre-formed tortilla that is sold uncooked and you cook it yourself. The most common brand found in stores (in my area, anyway) is Tortilla Land. http://www.tortillaland.com/
