It’s perfect for those busy mornings when you need something filling but don’t have a lot of time. Plus, it’s made with Cuisine Adventures Egg and Cheese Bites they’re a lifesaver. Let’s get cooking.
Method
Preparing the Egg & Cheese Bites
Start by taking the Cuisine Adventures Egg & Cheese Bites out of their packaging. Place them on a microwave-safe plate. Follow the instructions on the package to heat them properly. Typically, you’ll microwave them for about 1.5 minutes. Once they are hot and ready, set them aside to cool slightly. This step ensures that the bites are fully cooked and have a soft, cheesy texture.
Preparing the Tortillas
Lay out two flour tortillas on separate microwave-safe plates. Make sure the plates are suitable for heating to avoid any safety issues. Spread the tortillas out flat, creating a good base for the toppings. This will help the salsa and cheese distribute evenly.
Adding Salsa and Cheese
Take the salsa and divide it equally between the two tortillas. Use a spoon to spread it across the surface, covering most of the tortilla. Next, sprinkle the Tex-Mex cheese generously over the salsa. The combination of salsa and cheese will give the quiche a tangy and cheesy flavor that pairs perfectly with the egg bites.
Assembling the Quiche
Place the warmed Egg & Cheese Bites on top of the cheese layer. Space them out evenly so that each bite gets some of the cheesy goodness. This layering helps the cheese melt over the bites, creating a flavorful combination.
Melting the Cheese
Pop the plates back into the microwave for about 15 seconds. This short heating time is enough to melt the cheese without overcooking the tortillas. Keep an eye on it to ensure the cheese melts without making the tortilla too soft.
Adding Toppings
Once the cheese has melted, remove the plates from the microwave carefully. Top each tortilla with a generous dollop of sour cream and sprinkle with sliced green onions. The sour cream adds a creamy contrast to the cheesy, spicy flavors, while the green onions add a fresh, mild bite.
