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.

The crust was a little too thick for my liking, but the filling was delicious.

This quiche was a little bland for my taste. I think I would add more spices next time.

I loved the combination of flavors in this quiche. The chorizo added a nice spicy kick and the potatoes and cheese were creamy and rich. I will definitely be making this again.

This recipe was easy to follow and the quiche turned out great. I used a pre-made crust to save time and it still came out delicious.

This quiche was a hit at my dinner party! The flavors of the chorizo, potatoes, and cheese were perfectly balanced. The crust was flaky and golden brown. I'll definitely be making this again.
