Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces Chorizo sausage
- 6 pieces Eggs
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Oaxaca cheese (or Monterey Jack, shredded)
- 2 pieces Jalapeño peppers, diced (seeds removed for less heat, optional)
- 1 piece Red bell pepper, diced
- 1 piece Yellow onion, diced
- 1 tablespoon Cilantro, chopped
- 1 9-inch crust Prepared pie crust
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Cumin powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Paprika
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and cook the chorizo sausage. Break it into small pieces and sauté for 5-7 minutes until browned and fully cooked. Remove the chorizo and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
In the same skillet, sauté the diced jalapeños, red bell pepper, and onion until softened, about 4-5 minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, black pepper, cumin, and paprika until well combined.
Stir the cooked chorizo, sautéed vegetables, shredded cheese, and chopped cilantro into the egg mixture.
Place the pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish and crimp the edges. Pour the egg mixture into the pie crust, spreading it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the quiche is set in the middle and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and allow the quiche to cool slightly for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm or at room temperature, garnished with extra cilantro if desired. Enjoy your Real Mexican Quiche!
