Don’t you love it when recipes turn out so better than you expect? I had high hopes for tonight’s dinner and it definitely surpassed them. It was an egg-cellent meal! 
Tortilla-Crusted Feta-and-Broccoli Quiche
Recipe inspired by Rachel Ray’s Tortilla-Crusted Goat Cheese-and-Asparagus Quiche
INGREDIENTS:
- Four 7-inch whole wheat tortillas
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/2 red onion, finely chopped
- 4 pieces of cooked bacon, crumbled
- 4 ounces sliced mushrooms (about 1 1/2 cups)
- 1/2 cup feta crumbles
- 3 eggs
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- Salt and pepper
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat the oven to 375* F. In a greased 9-inch pie plate, overlap the tortillas to make a crust; place on a rimmed baking sheet. (I used tortillas from Maria and Ricardo’s Tortilla Factory.)
Meanwhile, steam broccoli until crisp-tender, about 1 minute in the microwave. In a skillet, add the olive oil and heat over medium-high heat. Add the onion and mushrooms, season with salt and pepper and cook until the mushrooms are golden, about 3 minutes. Stir in the broccoli; season with salt and pepper.
Spread evenly in the tortilla crust, then add bacon and crumble the feta on top.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and yogurt and season with salt and pepper; pour into the tortilla crust.
Bake on the baking sheet until just set in the center and lightly golden, about 30 minutes. Let rest for about 10 minutes before serving.
Delicious!!! And, this quiche will be great for breakfast tomorrow morning!
Mal and I are seeing Inception in about 30 minutes, so I have a Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Blondie in my hand and we are out the door!
Enjoy the night, folks!

I love the idea of the whole wheat tortillas for the crust….. awesome!!
Oh my gosh – what a great idea! I love the idea of using tortillas as a pie crust – a great recipe for a weeknight “quiche”
Great post! Thank you!
I love this idea!!! And I totally sneak my own foods into the movies! Until they start selling healthier foods at the movie theatre, I’ll continue to smuggle in my own snacks!
Love the idea of using a tortilla for a crust–much more healthful than the traditional quiche crust!
Beautiful! I’m seeing Inception tomorrow. So excited
If I liked quiche, I’d be all over this recipe..maybe it’s because it reminds me of Chicago Deep Dish PIzza…yummmmmmmm
Omg, I LOVE this recipe. My usual complaint with quiche is that I don’t just have frozen pastry shell lying around (nor do I want to make it from scratch) so I end up not making it. The tortilla is a much better crust and is probably healthier, too. Great recipe!
That looks great. I can’t wait to hear how Inception is. I want to see it badly.
I love the idea of using tortillas! I’m way too much of a pansy to make my own pastry. Easiness for the win!
Tina,
This is a dish that I will have to try out! I need to brush up my cooking skills a little bit, but I think I can do this one.
@Dynamics: On my blog!
the tortilla idea is genius! In Italy we call them Salty Cakes and we use Brisee dough! But it is so hard to make from scratch!! I love the use of a tortilla!!! Thank you!
Ooh everyone I know who has seen Inception LOVED it — enjoy it!
The quiche looks wonderful, since our house is dairy-free I’ll have to try it with soy cheese. Thanks for sharing!
I am another one who never thought of using tortillas as a crust. Brilliant! I am definitely going to save this recipe to try soon. Small tortillas in ramekins would make cute little individual quiches. Do you think corn tortillas would work as well?
Yum! I love your site, and I will for sure be trying this delicious looking quiche!
YUM! I have been getting so many awesome recipes from you lately! Keep ‘em coming lady!
This looks delish! I might have to add this to the menu for my upcoming dinner party
Enjoy the movie. I saw it this weekend and thought it was awesome.
Yum. . . .I think I’ll be making this dish for my husband and I very soon!!
You will LOVE Inception, it’s amazing!!
Thanks for the camera strap link. How cute is that!! The lens cap holder is SUCH a great idea, I never know where to put mine. I’ll be checking out that etsy page for sure.
I am another one who never thought of using tortillas as a crust. Brilliant! I am definitely going to save this recipe to try soon.
That is such an awesome idea – I’m always too intimidated to make Quiche but this I feel I could do! Love recipes that could be eaten for breakfast, lunch or dinner
L-o-v-e the idea of using tortilla as a crust–so simple, yet looks delish!
I have every single ingredient in my fridge! Love when that happens. Making this for dinner tonight. Thanks!
ok, I will be making this ASAP. Yum!
This looks wonderful! I am definitely going to give this a whirl…thanks for posting!
I think I need to step on this Inception bandwagon. Everyone is loooving it! This dinner looks great too! Easy & healthy, my kind of thing!
I love the idea to use the tortillas instead of a pie shell! It makes quiche seem so much simpler to make!
tortilla as crust? sweet ass idea Tina!
Genius! Pure Genius.
I will definitely be making this dish in the near future! YUM!
YUM, this looks so good, never would of thought of using a tortilla’s, which I love, anything Mexican in fact! Thank you for sharing. =)
MMMM! awesome recipe, thanks for sharing
Is it me or is the commercials for Inception very confusing…I just don’t get it. Can’t wait to hear your thoughts.
The Quiche looks delish and so easy to make too…what a bonus!
this dish looks really light and flavorful!
Let us know how you liked the movie.
I love broccoli and feta omelettes so I know I will love this! I would never think of lining a quiche with tortilla, thanks for sharing the recipe.
I love the idea of the tortilla “crust”! That just made the concept of making a quiche waaay more approachable
Love the idea of using the tortillas as the crust-I will be incorporating this technique into my next quiche dish. Thank you!
I swear I was just thinking about a tasty quiche I could make soon. Thanks for the recipe!!
This looks so delicious! What a great idea.
That dish looks great! I bet it would work really well with corn tortillas, too. And bacon…but then again, bacon goes with everything.
This quiche looks great! Can’t wait to give it a try!! Hope you enjoyed the movie. It’s on my “Must See” list this summer.
I’m bookmarking this recipe…my mouth is watering!
That looks delicious!!! I’m so hungry right now and about to go and find some lunch. This is a great idea for a brunch or something.
Yummmy!
OooOoooooOo…I will be trying this soon and will let ya know if it comes out as good as yours looks!
I can’t wait until I can leave my apartment again; I totally want to see that movie!
Oh my! I love the idea of layering wraps for a crust! I have never made a quiche but now I know I want to using this recipe. Heard Inception is fabulous, what has Leo been in that isn’t good!?
I can’t wait to try this! I love quiche – it’s heavenly – but the nutritional profile of traditional quiche is kind of awful. I can’t bring myself to make it with a clear conscience
This is such a great and healthy alternative. Thank you for posting the recipe!
I love the idea of using tortillas for the crust—good call Rachel Ray!
Your version looks awesome!
I tried this recipe tonight and it was absolutely wonderful. The whole thing was really easy, especially the crust. I will happily pass this recipe along. Thanks for posting.
