There were no leftovers, so that means this recipe from Simply in Season must be good!
FOR PRINTABLE VERSION CLICK HERE: Corn Quiche with Tortilla Crust
3 corn tortillas
1/2 onion (chopped; I used green onion)
1/2 green pepper (diced)
1 cup milk
1 cup cottage cheese
3 eggs (beaten)
2 cups corn
1/2 cup cheese (shredded)
1/4 cup fresh cilantro (chopped; about halfway through I realized my cilantro had gone bad, so I substituted basil)
1/2 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1. Put one of the tortillas in the middle of a pie pan, then cut the other tortillas in half and overlap to cover most of the other bottom and sides of the pan.
2. Saute’ the onion and green pepper until translucent, then mix well with the milk, cottage cheese, and eggs.
3. Stir in remaining ingredients and bake in preheated 450F oven for 10 minutes; reduce to 350F and bake another 30-40 minutes, until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
Servings: 4
The Verdict: I baked this for 45 minutes and the knife never did come out clean. Well, it was clean, but still wet, so I wasn’t sure if it was because I used canned corn (I know, shoot me, but it was drained) or what. So I decided it was probably done. However, when I went to cut it the quiche had set up. Weird! Anyways, it tasted great. Because I had substituted basil, it would have been even better with some chopped tomatoes.

Oh wow, that looks awesome! Yum!
Hi Karen, and thanks for sharing on the two for tuesday recipe blog hop. Don’t you just hate that about how fast cilantro goes bad? My market offered it the other day with the roots still on and I put it into a cup of water and that seemed to last a bit better. I adore Quiche and this one looks so unique, so I will certainly be trying it. 🙂 Alex@amoderatelife
Since I’m a veg, I guess I’ll have to make this blog a regular stop on Mondays! Found you on the SITS girls, and I have to say I loves a good food blog. 😉
I’m glad you stopped by! I have a lot of veg recipes, much to DH’s dismay 😀 He wants to add chicken to everything.
I love quiche and am always looking for new ways to make it – this looks delicious! Thanks for linking this to Two for Tuesdays!
This sounds fantastic! And it’s gluten free! I have printed it out. We are having company this weekend so I will try to make it then. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
Yummy recipe! I will have to try it out. Thanks for sharing.
All I can say is… I WANT THIS NOW!!! Gorgeous…I’m bookmarking to make very, very soon. Thanks so much for sharing w/ t4t this week =)
Yum yum yum yum YUM!! I make a veggie meal every week. My husband sneaks out for Taco Bell later. He thinks I don’t know, but I do. I have made exactly one veggie meal that hasn’t had that effect; strangely it’s a Vegan Lentil Casserole. And now, maybe this. It looks very satisfying. Thanks for linking it up!
My husband usually adds chicken to our veg meals LOL
Wow, I love the idea of using tortillas as crust. I’m a celiac, and usually just go crustless, but it would be nice to have a crust every now and again. Thanks for sharing this with T4T.
Sounds great – looking forward to trying it.
