I love quiche but we were always having spinach or Lorraine and wanted something different. Since I love Mexican food I wondered how it would taste with chorizo. So I created this recipe and it turned out great.

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

1 pkg rolled pie crust
6 large eggs
1/2 c each, bell pepper & onion (diced)
1 c half and half
1/2 lb chorizo (mexican sausage, mild or medium -diced)
1 oz jalapeno (seeded and diced)
1/3 c queso fresco
1 c shredded sharp cheddar
1/2 c green onion
1 tsp minced garlic

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 350F degrees. On a floured work surface, roll out the chilled pie dough. Turn the pie crust dough about a quarter turn after every few rolls until you have a circle 12 inches in diameter. Carefully place the dough into a 9-inch pie dish. Tuck it in with your fingers, making sure it is smooth. With a small and sharp knife, trim the extra overhang of crust and discard. Pre-bake the pie crust for 8 minutes. Pull out to cool.
2. While the pie crust is pre-baking, whisk together the eggs, milk, and cheeses (only a 1/4 cup of Cheddar) until combined. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Set aside.
3. Place Jalapeno, bell pepper, & onion in a skillet coated with 1 teaspoon olive oil or nonstick spray, add the garlic, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Turn the heat on to medium-high and sauté the veggies until they release all of their moisture and no more water remains on the bottom of the skillet, about 5 minutes. Add Chorizo and cook an additional 2 minutes.
4. Take the pie crust and Add the cooked veggie and sausage mixture. Pour the egg mixture on top. Sprinkle the top lightly with more the rest of the cheddar cheese.
5. Bake the quiche until it is golden brown on top and the center is no longer jiggly. Depending on your oven, this will take anywhere between 45 minutes - 1 hour. Mine took 50 minutes. Use a pie shield to prevent the pie crust from over browning, if desired. Allow to cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. This quiche makes great leftovers! Store tightly covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Baked quiche freezes very well, up to 2 months.
6. Note** You can garnish with Sour Cream, Salsa & green onion.

Tips:

Use a high-quality chorizo: A good chorizo will make all the difference in your quiche. Look for a chorizo that is well-seasoned and has a nice balance of flavors.
Don't overcook the chorizo: Chorizo is a quick-cooking sausage, so it's important not to overcook it. Otherwise, it will become dry and tough.
Use a combination of cheeses: Using a combination of cheeses will give your quiche a more complex flavor. A good option is to use a combination of cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheeses.
Don't overbeat the eggs: Overbeaten eggs will make your quiche tough. Just whisk the eggs until they are combined.
Bake the quiche until it is set: The quiche is done baking when it is set in the center. You can check this by inserting a knife into the center of the quiche. If the knife comes out clean, the quiche is done.

Conclusion:

Chorizo quiche is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's also a great way to use up leftover chorizo. With a few simple tips, you can make a chorizo quiche that is sure to impress your family and friends.
