Conquistador Quiche image

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.

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 large eggs

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

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.
