Ground Beef Taco Quiche
This pie is creamy and full of delicious spices. So let’s spice up the classic quiche with a little Mexican flare!
Ingredients
Pie crust
- 180 g Flour All-purpose 1.25 cup
- 100 g Butter or margarine 3,5 oz
- 2 tbsp Water
- 1 pinch Salt
Filling
- 500 g Ground beef
- 150 g Cheese 5,30 oz
- 4 Eggs
- 200 ml Milk 0.85 cup
- 200 ml Whipping cream 0,85 cup
- Salt
- Pepper
- 2 tbsp Taco seasoning
- 100 ml Water (½ cup)
Instructions
Pie crust
- Preheat oven to 200° C (392° F).
- Cut the butter into small pieces.
- Add flour and salt.
- Pinch together flour and butter by hand or mix in a food processor to a crumbly mass.
- Add the cold water and mix quickly to a dough. Press the dough into a pie tin (approx. 25-28 cm (9,5-11 inch) in diameter). Notch the bottom with a fork.
- Cover the pie dough edge with foil! When you pre-baked the pie crust, there is a risk that the top edge will be overbaked towards the end of the baking. Tear out a narrow strip of aluminum foil and cover the edge to prevent the pie dough from burning at the top.
- Pre-bake the pie crust in the middle of the oven for 10 minutes.
Make the ground beef taco
- Brown 500 gram (1 pound) ground meat over medium heat until no pink remains.
- Add taco seasoning. Mix the seasoning into the minced meat while stirring.
- Add 100 ml (1/2 Cup) water and let it simmer for a few minutes until the sauce thickens.
Assemble the pie
- Dice the cheese (Gouda or Cheddar).
- Whisk the eggs with milk and whipping cream. Add salt and pepper.
- Take the pre-baked pie crust from the oven. Fill it with ground beef taco and cheese. Pour the egg mixture over it.
- Bake for 30 minutes at 200° C.
