Disclaimer: Do not let the "Quiche" concept fool you. This is not some limp-wristed yuppie food. This is serious food for a serious appetite.
Up until 3 or 4 years ago the wife and I drove into town every Saturday and Sunday morning for breakfast at our favorite little Mexican restaurant. We then started some huge yard projects and didn't want to stop working for 2 hours to go get breakfast so I started making basic stuff to save time. As with so many of my endeavors, this has become an evolution. It started with basic breakfast tacos, then pancakes, French toast, etc...and since then, I have put together some really good stuff. We've enjoyed a couple versions of this Quiche but this one has by far been my favorite. It may have to do with my affinity for a rejuvenated love affair with dried beef from my childhood....thank you Bearcarver and Holly2015!!
Start with some dried beef, chop it up into small pieces and warm it in a skillet with a bit of butter
Place the small cast iron baking dish in the center of a tortilla and cut around the bottom. This will give you the perfect size and shaped piece to cover the bottom of the baking dish. Slice the remainder of the tort into 4 pieces to line the sides. Spray the dish with non-stick cooking spray (DO NOT miss this step). Lay in the pieces of tortilla
Put in the dried beef that has been warmed in the skillet
Add Ro Tel tomatoes with habaneros (drained)
Shredded smoked cheddar cheese
Mix 3 eggs and a 4 oz. cup of cottage cheese in a bowl and slowly pour into the baking dish
A liberal dose of fresh ground black pepper and some chopped green onions, then onto the grill
All done and off the grill. Look at the way it has "poofed" up. Pretty impressive if I do say so myself :-)
Slides right out of the baking dish and onto the plate. It took about 35 minutes to cook with the grill at 375*
Money shot!! this looks incredible. Now to sit down and hope for the best
Mmmmm...look at all that luscious goodness. I made two of these but only took pics of one. The wife got one also :-) Yep, this is one of my favorite all-time breakfast foods. Deep, rich, complex flavors, and very gratifying.These are the silly things I come up with when the wife heads off to church on Sunday mornings. We have also enjoyed these with sausage, crumbled fried bacon, brisket, and chuck roast. All have been very good but as previously stated, this one has been my favorite. They are quick to make, have great visual appeal, and are truly delicious. Y'all may want to consider giving these a try. You might find something new to add to your breakfast menu....we sure have :-)
No yuppie food here,
