Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 large eggs
3/4 cup heavy cream
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 small to medium poblano chile pepper, seeded and thinly sliced
2 scallions, thinly sliced
1/2 cup shredded Mexican blend cheese
1 10-ounce can red enchilada sauce
3 6-inch corn tortillas, 2 cut in half
1 jicama (1 to 1 1/2 pounds)
Juice of 1 lime
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Whisk the eggs, heavy cream, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over high heat. Add the poblano, season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and cook until charred in spots, 5 to 8 minutes. Add to the egg mixture along with the scallions and all but 2 tablespoons of the cheese; stir to combine.
  • Pour the enchilada sauce into the skillet and heat until bubbling; remove from the heat. Using tongs, dip the whole tortilla in the sauce until coated. Place in a 9-inch pie plate. Dip the tortilla halves in the sauce and arrange around the sides of the pie plate, with the rounded edge up. Reserve the remaining sauce.
  • Pour the egg mixture into the tortilla crust, sprinkle evenly with the reserved 2 tablespoons cheese and drizzle with 3 tablespoons of the remaining enchilada sauce. Bake until golden, slightly puffed and set, about 25 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, peel the jicama and cut into matchsticks. Toss with the lime juice, cilantro, remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1/4 cup water in a bowl; season with salt and pepper. Reheat the remaining enchilada sauce over medium-low heat, thinning with a couple tablespoons of water if necessary. Cut the quiche into wedges and drizzle with the sauce. Serve with the jicama.
