Time 1h10m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

¾ pound bulk pork sausage
5 (6 inch) corn tortillas
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
¼ cup canned chopped green chiles
6 eggs, beaten
½ cup heavy whipping cream
½ cup ricotta cheese
½ teaspoon chili powder
¼ cup minced fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch pie plate.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and stir in sausage. Cook and stir until sausage is crumbly, evenly browned, and no longer pink, about 10 minutes. Drain and discard any excess grease.
  • Place four tortillas in prepared pie plate, overlapping and extending 1/2-inch beyond rim; place remaining tortilla in center. Layer sausage, Monterey Jack cheese, Cheddar cheese, and green chilies over tortillas. Combine eggs, heavy whipping cream, ricotta cheese, and chili powder in a bowl; slowly pour egg mixture into pie plate.
  • Bake in preheated oven until center is set and puffed, about 45 minutes. Sprinkle with cilantro and cut into wedges.

This quiche is a great way to sneak some vegetables into your kids' diet. They'll never know they're eating spinach and zucchini!

I love the idea of using corn tortillas instead of a traditional pie crust. It makes the quiche so much easier to make.

This quiche was a bit too eggy for my taste. I think I would use less eggs next time.

This quiche was a little bland for my taste. I think it needed more seasoning.
