Instructions

Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350ºF to prepare for baking the quiche evenly.
Cook ground beef: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until it is no longer pink. Drain any excess fat to reduce greasiness. Then, add taco seasoning and salsa to the skillet, stirring and cooking for an additional 2 to 3 minutes until most of the liquid is absorbed, creating a flavorful taco meat mixture.
Assemble base layer: Spoon the cooked ground beef mixture evenly into the bottom of the frozen pie crust. Then sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top to create a cheesy layer.
Prepare egg mixture: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and sour cream thoroughly until smooth and well combined. This mixture will set to create the quiche’s creamy custard filling.
Pour and bake: Pour the egg mixture over the taco meat and cheese in the pie crust, ensuring even coverage. Place the quiche in the preheated oven and bake for 1 hour, or until the egg custard is fully set and the top is lightly golden.
Rest and serve: Remove the quiche from the oven and allow it to rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. This allows the quiche to firm up for easier serving and enhanced flavor.

Notes

Using a deep dish frozen pie crust simplifies preparation and ensures a sturdy base for the quiche.
Drain the cooked ground beef well to prevent the quiche from becoming soggy.
Feel free to adjust the taco seasoning amount to your desired spice level.
Letting the quiche rest after baking helps it set properly for cleaner slices.
Serve with fresh salsa or sour cream on the side for extra flavor.
