TEXAS QUICHE
This is a family favorite, everyone wants the leftovers if there are any. It is great for a brunch and while it is baking you can prepare other things to serve. If you cannot find fresh chorizo, I have made this with chopped canadian bacon or hot breakfast sausage.

Steps:
- 1. Spread the potatoes on a plate layered with paper towels, thaw in the microwave. Press out any remaining moisture.
- 2. Pat the potatoes over the bottom and sides of an ungreased 9 inch pie plate.
- 3. Sprinkle potatoes evenly with seasoning salt and then drizzle with melted butter.
- 4. Bake at 425 for 25 minutes. Remove from oven and reduce temperature to 350.
- 5. Layer the chorizo, cheese, pepper, onion and jalapeno over the baked crust.
- 6. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt and pepper until blended and pour over the prepared layers.
- 7. Bake for 25 minutes or until a knife in the center comes out clean.
Tips:
- Use a deep dish pie plate. This will help to prevent the quiche from overflowing.
- Blind bake the crust. This will help to prevent the crust from becoming soggy.
- Use fresh ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of the quiche.
- Don't overcook the quiche. The center of the quiche should be slightly jiggly when it is done.
- Let the quiche cool slightly before slicing. This will help to prevent the filling from spilling out.
