Notes

Choose a flexible tortilla labeled both gluten-free and dairy-free. Warm gently to help prevent cracking.
Baking takes 25-35 minutes. The displayed total allows 35 minutes of baking plus the 5-minute rest; timing varies by oven.
Estimated nutrition: Per half of the quiche, using a 70.5 g Siete burrito-size tortilla as the large-tortilla reference, Silk Organic dairy-free milk, 28 g Violife cheddar-style shreds and 1 teaspoon oil for greasing. Values are calculated from USDA ingredient data and reference product labels; brands, substitutions and measured yield can change them.
Ingredient arithmetic rechecked October 27, 2026. Calories and macros are estimates per serving; all measured oil is included.
Cheese options: Choose the dairy-free cheese if needed, and check the other ingredients for your dietary needs. Nutrition shown uses the original dairy-free cheese; another product changes the estimate. Flavor, texture and melting can vary by product.
Storage: Refrigerate perishable portions in shallow, covered containers within 2 hours, or within 1 hour above 90°F. Keep the refrigerator at 40°F or below and use cooked leftovers within 3–4 days. If reheating cooked leftovers, heat them to 165°F throughout.
