Question 1

How do I store tortilla quiche?

Accepted Answer

Store tortilla quiche covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. I usually reheat leftovers in the oven or air fryer to keep the tortilla from getting soft. If you are short on time, the microwave works, but the crust will be softer. If I want the tortilla to stay crisp, I avoid the microwave and reheat it in the oven or air fryer.

Question 2

Can I make high protein tortilla quiche ahead of time?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can fully bake the quiche, let it cool, and store it in the fridge for easy breakfasts all week. I have also assembled it the night before and baked it in the morning. If baking from cold, add 2 to 3 extra minutes.

Question 3

What size tortilla works best for cottage cheese breakfast quiche?

Accepted Answer

Soft taco-size tortillas work best for a single serving. They fit perfectly in a 6-inch pan and create a shallow crust that lets the egg mixture set properly. Burrito-size tortillas can work, but you will need to double the filling.

Question 4

Can I use frozen vegetables in tortilla breakfast quiche?

Accepted Answer

Yes, with a few adjustments. Frozen spinach must be fully thawed and squeezed dry or the quiche will be watery. Frozen bell peppers work well once thawed and drained. I do not recommend frozen tomatoes since they become too soft.

Question 5

How many grams of protein are in cottage cheese tortilla quiche?

Accepted Answer

This single-serving tortilla quiche has about 47 grams of protein. The protein comes from cottage cheese, eggs, cheddar cheese, and cooked ground turkey, which is why it keeps me full until lunch.

Question 6

Can I make tortilla quiche without cottage cheese?

Accepted Answer

You can, but the texture and protein will change. Cottage cheese blends smooth, adds creaminess, and helps the quiche set. Ricotta works but is softer and lower in protein. Dairy-free yogurts do not set well. Blended silken tofu is the only substitute I have found that works reliably.
