Gluten Free Tater Tot Quiche

If all the best worlds and food groups collided, they would land in this Gluten Free Tater Tot Quiche. Potato lovers, this one’s for you!


Gluten Free Tater Tot Quiche

In this episode of rage baking…JUST KIDDING! I made this quiche calmly and with love in my soul. If you need one for rage baking though, make sure to head on over to my Best Paleo Brownies recipe; it doesn’t disappoint. 

Ok back to this potato crusted quiche made with crispy, delicious tots. I love me some traditional quiche with a flaky crust, but I also like to stockpile frozen gluten free tots, because my inner child demands I do. 

Gluten Free Tater Tot Quiche

So last week as I fumbled around the kitchen and resented my family for needing to consume food every evening (kidding, calm down), I found one gluten free frozen pie crust, some eggs, and some frozen tots. Score. Now, my middle daughter hates onions (I’m not sure how we could possibly be related) and so I made one of my pizza quiches (find that recipe HERE) and then decided to try something fun with my tots. 

Gluten Free Tater Tot Quiche

Now, I’d like it to be known that soggy tots are not an option here so pre-baking them is real important. And if you skip that step and throw frozen tots in the bottom of a cast iron skillet and think it’s gonna be ok, it’s not and you’ll be disappointed and maybe even tearful.

So trust me when I say, BAKE THE TOTS until the are crispy. Air fry them if you can, they’ll be even more delightful, but please for the love of white contraband potatoes, cook them first.

    OMGoodness, this is sooo good! This has become a staple for my family. It’s one of those meals that I fall back on when I forgot to plan dinner. Thanks so much for another great recipe.

    One question – is there a reason the tater tots need to be baked on a separate baking sheet, or could they just be cooked on the cast iron skillet since they’re going to end up there anyway? I’ve done separate previously but it just dawned on me today whether it was possible to use the skillet and avoid washing one more pan after dinner!! 🙂

About

Jennifer is a wife and mother of 3 in pursuit of better health for her family.
After being gluten free for 4 years, and having a multitude of chronic health issues, she realized there was still too much processed “food” in her pantry and change was needed. Jennifer began feeding her family more meals from WHOLE foods and less from boxes. Her recipes are predominantly paleo, meaning they are free of grain, gluten, dairy, and refined sugar, but make allowances for a few treats and sweets. She believes food can be medicine when used appropriately and that a few changes now can equate to huge benefits later. Healthy food does not need to be flavorless and void of personality, which she aims to accomplish through her many recipes.
