Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams chorizo sausage
- 6 large eggs
- 120 ml heavy cream
- 120 ml whole milk
- 100 grams shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 medium onion
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 60 grams spinach
- 2 cloves garlic
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 optional butter or non-stick spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a 9-inch pie dish with butter or non-stick spray.
Remove the chorizo from its casing (if applicable), and cook it in a skillet over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, breaking it into small pieces as it cooks. Once fully cooked, transfer to a bowl and set aside.
Dice the onion and red bell pepper. Mince the garlic cloves.
In the same skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the onion and red bell pepper for 3-4 minutes, or until softened.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
Toss in the spinach and cook until wilted, about 1-2 minutes. Remove the skillet from heat.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, and whole milk until smoothly combined.
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, chorizo, sautéed vegetables, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to evenly distribute the ingredients.
Pour the mixture into the prepared pie dish, spreading the ingredients evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the quiche is set in the center and lightly golden on top. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
Remove the quiche from the oven and allow it to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
