Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 packet taco seasoning
• 0.25 cup water
• 1 premade pie crust
• 4 large eggs
• 0.75 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.5 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 cup diced tomatoes (optional, for garnish)
• 0.25 cup sliced green onions (optional, for garnish)
• 0.5 cup sour cream (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Place the premade pie crust into a 9-inch pie or quiche dish, trimming any overhanging edges. Prick the bottom lightly with a fork and set aside.

Step 3

In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it into small pieces with a wooden spoon.

Step 4

Drain any excess fat from the beef, then stir in the taco seasoning and water. Simmer for about 5 minutes, or until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.

Step 5

In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream until well combined.

Step 6

Spread the seasoned ground beef evenly over the bottom of the pie crust.

Step 7

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses over the beef layer.

Step 8

Pour the egg and cream mixture over the cheese and beef layers, making sure it fills in evenly.

Step 9

Place the quiche on the center rack of the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and allow the quiche to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing.

Step 11

Optionally, garnish with diced tomatoes, sliced green onions, and a dollop of sour cream before serving.
