Ingredients

• 6 large Eggs
• 0.5 cup Milk
• 6 ounces Chorizo sausage
• 0.5 cup (diced) Red bell pepper
• 0.5 cup (diced) Green bell pepper
• 1 cup (shredded) Sharp cheddar cheese
• 2 tablespoons (chopped) Green onions
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Cumin
• 0.25 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Olive oil
• 12 pieces Mini phyllo or pastry shells (pre-made)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chorizo sausage, breaking it into small pieces as it cooks. Cook for 5-7 minutes until fully browned. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, cumin, and paprika until well combined.

Step 4

Add the diced red and green bell peppers, cooked chorizo, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped green onions to the egg mixture. Stir everything together until combined.

Step 5

Arrange the mini phyllo or pastry shells on a baking tray. Carefully spoon the egg mixture into each shell, filling them almost to the top but leaving a little space to prevent overflow during baking.

Step 6

Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the quiches are puffed and the centers are set.

Step 7

Remove from the oven and let the mini quiches cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 8

Serve warm as is or garnish with a dollop of sour cream, cilantro, or a dash of hot sauce for extra flavor!
