This easy Ham and Cheese Tortilla Quiche is a simple and delicious twist on a classic quiche, using flour tortillas instead of a traditional crust. It’s a great way to use leftover ham and works well for breakfast, brunch, or a light dinner. With layers of eggs, cheese, and ham, it bakes up into a hearty, flavorful dish with minimal effort. You can cook it in the oven, an air fryer, or even a Traeger for a hint of smoky flavor.
Ham and Cheese Tortilla Quiche
I love this recipe for so many reasons, but the easy tortilla crust might be the top. The tortillas create a crisp, slightly chewy crust that holds up beautifully against the rich, cheesy egg filling. Using two tortillas gives the quiche a sturdy base and a nice layered effect.
