The Method
1. Preheat the oven: preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Lightly grease a tart or quiche dish with olive oil.
2. Prepare the base: place the tortillas into the tart dish, pressing them gently to cover the bottom and sides. Slightly overlap the edges if needed.
3. Prepare the filling: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, double cream or milk, cajun spice, salt, and pepper until smooth. Stir in the chopped spinach, halved cherry tomatoes, and mozzarella balls.
4. Assemble the tarte: Pour the egg and vegetable mixture over the tortilla base. Sprinkle grated mozzarella, cheddar, and Parmesan evenly over the top.
5. Bake: Place the tarte in the preheated oven and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the cheese is golden and bubbling.
Serving Suggestion:
♦ Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes before slicing.
♦ Serve warm as a brunch dish, light lunch, or dinner alongside a fresh salad.
Tips:
♦ Add a pinch of chili flakes for a spicier twist
♦ Substitute some mozzarella with feta for a tangy flavour
♦ For extra crispiness, lightly brush the tortilla edges with olive oil before baking
