Cuisine: Mexican
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- 1 cup diced bell peppers
- 1/2 cup diced onion
- 1 cup cooked chorizo
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This will ensure that your crustless quiche cooks evenly and thoroughly.
- In a large mixing bowl, crack the 6 large eggs and whisk them until well combined. Make sure there are no streaks of egg whites remaining.
- Add 1 cup of milk to the eggs and whisk together until the mixture is smooth and homogenous. This will give your quiche a creamy texture.
- Season the egg and milk mixture with salt and pepper to taste. Remember that the chorizo and cheese will also add some saltiness, so be cautious not to over-season.
- In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup of shredded cheese, 1 cup of diced bell peppers, 1/2 cup of diced onion, and 1 cup of cooked chorizo. Mix these ingredients together until they are evenly distributed.
- Gradually fold the vegetable and chorizo mixture into the egg and milk mixture. Use a spatula to gently combine everything, ensuring that the ingredients are evenly dispersed throughout the egg mixture.
- Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish or a similar baking dish with cooking spray or a small amount of oil to prevent sticking.
- Pour the combined mixture into the prepared pie dish, spreading it out evenly to ensure even cooking.
- Place the pie dish in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 30 minutes, or until the quiche is set in the center and lightly golden on top. You can check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean.
- Once cooked, remove the quiche from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes before slicing. This resting time will help it set further and make it easier to cut.
- Garnish with chopped cilantro before serving for a fresh flavor and vibrant color. Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy your delicious Mexican Brunch Crustless Quiche!
Tips
- Use room temperature eggs for a smoother, more even mixture
- Don't overmix the ingredients – gently fold to maintain a light texture
- For extra flavor, consider using a mix of cheese types like cheddar and pepper jack
- Make sure to drain any excess fat from the chorizo to prevent a greasy quiche
- Let the quiche rest for 5-10 minutes after baking to help it set and make cutting easier
- If you prefer a spicier version, add some diced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the mixture
- This quiche can be made ahead and reheated, making it perfect for meal prep
- For a lighter version, you can substitute whole milk with low-fat milk or even almond milk
