Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 0.25 cup water
- 1 premade pie crust
- 4 large eggs
- 0.75 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cup diced tomatoes (optional, for garnish)
- 0.25 cup sliced green onions (optional, for garnish)
- 0.5 cup sour cream (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place the premade pie crust into a 9-inch pie or quiche dish, trimming any overhanging edges. Prick the bottom lightly with a fork and set aside.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it into small pieces with a wooden spoon.
Drain any excess fat from the beef, then stir in the taco seasoning and water. Simmer for about 5 minutes, or until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream until well combined.
Spread the seasoned ground beef evenly over the bottom of the pie crust.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses over the beef layer.
Pour the egg and cream mixture over the cheese and beef layers, making sure it fills in evenly.
Place the quiche on the center rack of the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow the quiche to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
Optionally, garnish with diced tomatoes, sliced green onions, and a dollop of sour cream before serving.
