Chorizo Mushroom Quiche image

This is a fairly low-carb recipe, but it is NOT LOW-FAT. You can change the ingredients to anything you like, just be sure to use the 4 eggs to 1.5 cups of dairy (milk, cream or even 1/2 cup of sour cream works just fine, as long as it totals 1.5 cups!).

Time 35m

Yield 1 quiche, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 eggs
1 1/2 cups cream (or a blend of milk and cream, your choice)
6 mushrooms, sliced
2 green onions, sliced
6 ounces chorizo sausage
3/4 cup cheddar cheese, grated
1 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon cayenne (to taste)
1/4-1/2 teaspoon salt (to taste)
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

  • In a medium mixing bowl, stir together eggs, cream (or mixture of milk and cream) and spices, set aside.
  • Saute chopped mushrooms, green onions and chorizo together in a pan until mushrooms and chorizo are no longer raw, about 5 - 7 minutes. You may need a dash of olive oil to prevent sticking.
  • Have ready a buttered baking dish (I used a cast-iron scone pan, see photo). Place chorizo mixture on the bottom, then cheese, then pour egg mixture over top. Sprinkle with paprika, if desired.
  • Bake at 375 degrees for 20-40 minutes, depending on your pan and your oven. CHECK OFTEN as ovens vary. My cast iron scone pan only took 20 minutes!
  • Cook until slightly brown on top and eggs do not jiggle. Let set for 10 minutes. You might sprinkle extra green onions or chili flakes on top, if you like - get creative! Sliced black olives make a nice touch.
