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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

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.

Step 3

In the same skillet, sauté the diced jalapeños, red bell pepper, and onion until softened, about 4-5 minutes.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, black pepper, cumin, and paprika until well combined.

Step 5

Stir the cooked chorizo, sautéed vegetables, shredded cheese, and chopped cilantro into the egg mixture.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and allow the quiche to cool slightly for 5-10 minutes before slicing.

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature, garnished with extra cilantro if desired. Enjoy your Real Mexican Quiche!
