Ingredients

• 1 piece pre-made pie crust
• 8 ounces bulk breakfast sausage
• 4 ounces green chiles, canned and diced
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
• 4 pieces large eggs
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 0.5 cup whole milk
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons chopped green onions (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the pre-made pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish, trimming or fluting the edges as needed. Set aside.

Step 2

In a skillet, cook the breakfast sausage over medium heat, crumbling it as it cooks. Cook until browned and no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Drain off any excess grease and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, whole milk, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper until fully combined.

Step 4

Add the green chiles, shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses, cooked sausage, and green onions (if using) into the egg mixture. Stir to evenly distribute the ingredients.

Step 5

Pour the mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.

Step 6

Carefully transfer the quiche to the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden. To check for doneness, insert a knife or toothpick into the center—if it comes out clean, the quiche is ready.

Step 7

Remove the quiche from the oven and allow it to cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.

Step 8

Optional: Garnish with additional chopped green onions or a dollop of salsa for an extra kick.
