Tortilla Quiche

An interesting twist on a quiche, using tortillas instead of pastry. 7/10 - nice for something different but my frittata recipe is very similar and I think I'll stick with that. This is a stock photo - I couldn't replicate the artfully arranged curly edges haha.

Ingredients:
10 pack of taco-sized tortillas (small)
3 eggs
1/3 cup milk
1/2 cup fresh or frozen mixed veg
1 Tbsp self-raising flour
1 tsp crushed garlic
assorted herbs, salt and pepper

some grated cheese


Method:
1) Preheat oven to 190 degrees. Grease large muffin trays (recipe calls for custard pots, so that sort of size) and insert tortillas, trying to keep them intact.
2) Mix all remaining ingredients except cheese together in a bowl, and pour approx 1/4 cup into each tortilla. Sprinkle grated cheese over the top.
3) Bake for approx 50 mins or until set, and serve with relish and a green salad.

1 tsp ginger peree
1 tsp curry powder
1 tsp cumin seeds
1 tsp mustard seeds
3 cups chopped cabbage
1 cup frozen peas
1 capsicum cubed
1/4 cup almonds roughly chopped

1. Saute the onion, garlic and ginger until clear
2. Add spices and stir in quickly
3. Add cabbage and cook for around 5 minutes until cabbage is soft
4. Stir in remaining ingredients and let peas warm

Was very easy to make - good as a side salad. The curry powder was a little overpowering but overall not too bad. 6.5/10
