I made this last night, and it was pretty darn good! :yum: I used a large pie pan so I made it with 7 eggs and 1.5 pds. fresh ground hot sausage, and 3/4 cups of heavy cream. But follow the recipe it will be great just like it is.

SPANISH-STYLE SAUSAGE QUICHE
1 pound hot pork sausage
1 small onion, chopped, 2 1/2 ounces
1 small green pepper, diced
1 medium tomato, diced
8 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
6 eggs
1/2 teaspoon salt
Dash pepper
1/2 cup heavy cream

In a large skillet, brown the sausage with the onion. When the sausage is cooked through, drain off the grease. Add the green pepper and tomato. Cook over medium-high heat until the peppers are tender-crisp and some of the juice from the tomato has cooked off. Drain the sausage and vegetables on a paper towel-lined plate then put in the bottom of a greased 9-10" pie plate. Top with the cheese.

Whisk the eggs, salt and pepper, then whisk in the cream. Evenly pour the egg mixture over the sausage and cheese. Bake at 350º for 35-45 minutes until knife inserted in center comes out clean. Let stand about 10 minutes before cutting.

Sounds good! A little like the breakfast muffins in ingredients.

Speaking of spanish eggs, or mexican in this case, I love chorizo but the ingredients are revolting. There is a product called 'soyrizo' that is very yummy, just like it, and is a fab addition to eggs. When I can't choke down one more egg, adding soyrizo to some scramble changes the nature of 'em entirely.
