Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 2 tablespoons Shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons Salsa
- 2 tablespoons Chopped cooked chicken (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Chopped bell pepper
- 1 tablespoon Chopped green onion
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.25 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 pinch Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Butter
- 1 piece Small tortilla
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly grease a small ramekin or an oven-safe dish with the butter.
Press the tortilla into the ramekin, gently folding it so it fits snugly and creates a crust.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk the egg and milk until fully combined.
Stir in the shredded cheese, salsa, chopped chicken (if using), bell pepper, green onion, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper.
Pour the egg mixture into the tortilla shell in the ramekin.
Place the ramekin on a baking sheet to catch any possible overflow.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes, or until the egg mixture is set and slightly puffed.
Carefully remove the ramekin from the oven and let it cool for 2–3 minutes before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy your personal-sized Mexican quiche!
