The tortilla adds a delicious crunchy shell and it smells so good while it is cooking. I actually made up this recipe from items in my kitchen and couldn't believe how wonderful it tasted! It is now a hit in my family and so EASY to make. Please rate and give feedback.

SERVES 5 -6 , 1 pie (change servings and units)

Ingredients

5 eggs
2 tablespoons milk
3 roasted garlic cloves, crushed
1/4 teaspoon lemon pepper
1 dash salt
3 slices cooked bacon, chopped (optional)
1 large flour tortilla
1 1/2 cups any blend shredded cheese
3 cups fresh spinach

Directions

1
Mix the first six ingredients (eggs, bacon, milk, garlic, lemon pepper and salt) in a bowl. Set aside.
2
Lay the flour tortilla in a glass pie dish, press gently - does not need to lay perfectly flat against dish.
3
Sprinkle only 1/2 cup cheese on tortilla.
4
Sprinkle remaining cheese and the spinach onto tortilla in layers, and press gently.
5
Pour egg mixture evenly over spinach, be careful not to pour any outside of tortilla.
6
Bake in oven at 365 degrees for 30 to 40 minutes. Insert fork in center and it should come out clean.
7
Use sharp knife to cut into pie slices and serve hot.
8
Other options: Instead of garlic, you can use 1/4 cup onions. For added flavor, serve with homemade salsa.

Definitely a keeper! We just made this and both gobbled up our first serving! We'll be eating the whole thing tonight We used a Citrus & basil mix from Pampered Chef and was seriously delicious. Thank you for such a great, simple recipe!

Yummy. Used bacon grease to prepare the glass pie dish, don't tell my doc! My tortilla wasn't big enough so I layed about 4 of them around the dish. Didn't use lemon pepper cuz I didn't have any, just plain salt and pepper. Added sauted mushrooms after the first layer of cheese. Delish!

I skipped the lemon pepper (used more salt), used chopped frozen spinach (thawed and squeezed of moisture), used one regular garlic clove instead of roasted, used less cheese, substituted 1 T. bacon bits for the bacon, and added thinly sliced mushrooms to the spinach layer (which was really a plus!). One thing: make sure you grease the pie pan, as my tortilla stuck. Next time I plan to use a whole wheat tortilla, and 2 whole eggs plus 4-5 egg whites to make it even healthier. What an easy way to make a nice egg dish without the fuss!

Holy Smokes! So good and simple to cook. When done, I can eat the pie slice like I would a pizza. No cutting or slicing to eat - the tortilla shell cooks to a crisp and is sturdy enough to eat with your hand. Had to use 8 small eggs. Love it with salsa, I am a salsa person anyway. Will pre-cook bacon and cook daily. Prep time is hardly a minute. Doesn't taste that good cold, so eat up all of it.
