Spicy Mexican quiche. This is the recipe that I first came to Recipezaar to find. I requested the recipe, but no one could help me, so I made it up from memory in order to take it to a dinner party my friend was having. Sometime later, after my cookbooks were out of storage, I was able to locate the original recipe. This is pretty darn close.

Time 1h15m

Yield 1 quiche, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 large eggs
3/4 cup milk (I like cream, makes it richer) or 3/4 cup cream (I like cream, makes it richer)
1 lb Italian sausage or 1 lb chorizo sausage
1 (4 ounce) can green chilies, chopped
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon pepper
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
deep dish pie shell
sour cream
shredded lettuce
tomatoes, cut into wedges

Steps:

  • Poke holes in the crust with a fork and pre-bake 10 minutes.
  • Fry the sausage with the onion and spices until the onion is tender.
  • Layer meat, green chilies and cheese into crust.
  • Mix eggs and milk/cream together in a bowl with a bit of salt.
  • Pour over meat mixture in the crust.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for about 45 minutes or until a knife in the middle comes out clean. (Cover the crust edges with foil if it is browning too dark).
  • Cut into wedges and top with lettuce, sour cream and a tomato wedge.
  • Serve with salsa if desired.

This was a great recipe! I made a few changes, like using a gluten-free pie crust and adding some diced red bell pepper to the filling. It turned out perfectly, and my family loved it.

This quiche was easy to make and so delicious! I used a store-bought pie crust, and it still turned out great. The filling was creamy and flavorful, and the crust was flaky and buttery.

I used a pre-made pie crust to save time, and it turned out great. The filling was creamy and flavorful. I added a little extra cheese on top, and it was perfect.

This quiche was a hit with my family! The flavors of the chorizo, black beans, and corn were perfect together. The crust was flaky and buttery. I will definitely be making this again.
