Ingredients:
- 4 eggs
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1 Italian sausage
- 1 chorizo sausage
- 1/2 cup diced green chilies
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- Cheddar cheese, shredded
- Sour cream
- Lettuce
- Tomatoes
- Salt (to taste)
- Salsa (optional, for serving)
Instructions:
-
Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a pie crust in a quiche dish or pie plate. Poke holes in the crust with a fork and pre-bake it for 10 minutes. This helps to ensure a crispy crust.
-
Cook the Sausage Mixture: In a skillet over medium heat, fry the Italian sausage, chorizo sausage, and chopped onion together with the cumin, chili powder, and pepper. Cook until the onion is tender and the sausages are browned and cooked through.
-
Layer the Ingredients: Once the crust is pre-baked, layer the cooked sausage mixture, diced green chilies, and shredded cheddar cheese into the crust. Spread them evenly to ensure every slice is bursting with flavor.
-
Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined. Season with a bit of salt to taste. This creamy mixture will bind all the ingredients together while adding a rich texture to the quiche.
-
Bake to Perfection: Pour the egg and milk mixture over the layered ingredients in the crust. Ensure the mixture spreads evenly. Bake the quiche in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes or until a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean. If the crust edges start to brown too quickly, cover them with foil to prevent burning.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once baked, allow the quiche to cool for a few minutes before slicing it into wedges. Top each slice with a dollop of sour cream, a leaf of lettuce, and a wedge of tomato for a refreshing contrast of flavors. Serve with salsa on the side for an extra kick if desired.
