5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well blended. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
6. Carefully pour the egg mixture over the beef and cheese in the pie dish, ensuring it is evenly distributed.
7. Place the Taco Quiche in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.
