1 quiche
- Serves:
- 6-8
ingredients
- 4 eggs
- 354.88 ml cream (or a blend of milk and cream, your choice)
- 6 mushrooms, sliced
- 2 green onions, sliced
- 170.09 g chorizo sausage
- 177.44 ml cheddar cheese, grated
- 4.92 ml oregano
- 2.46 ml onion powder
- 2.46 ml cayenne (to taste)
- 1.23-2.46 ml salt (to taste)
- 1.23 ml black pepper
directions
- 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.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
Massive changes in our household when hubby was diagnosed with Diabetes. Now we eat mostly proteins and veggies and skip the pasta and breads. It's a tough transition - no more bready desserts. I LOVE to experiment, and I usually never make the same dish twice. I spend a HUGE amount of time looking at recipes and cooking. And I love this site!
