How To Make A Corn Tortilla Quiche
Spray pie plate with cooking spray. Arrange 4 tortillas in the bottom so they overlap and extend about 1/2 inch over edge of pie plate. Lay fifth tortilla over the middle.
Brown the sausage and drain it really well. Place sausage, green chilies and shredded cheeses on top of tortilla crust. In a bowl, mix eggs, cream, cottage cheese. Season with chili powder if you'd like. Pour the egg mixture slowly over ingredients in crust.
Bake at 375 degrees F for 45 minutes until golden brown and puffy. Cut into wedges and serve.
A Southwestern breakfast quiche where corn tortillas become the crust. Flavored with sausage, 2 kinds of cheese and spicy chilies.

AWESOME recipe. I use 3 tbs of the green chili & tomatoes (Rotel or generic) and most of the juice; also add chopped onions. Huge demand for recipe.

We loved it. A little too spicy. Next time - less peppers. Otherwise, very good.

I've made this recipe several times and it's always a big hit. I cut down the tomatoes for the kiddos. GREAT!

I finally tried this after having the recipe printed out for two month. Very glad I did. The tortilla added a really nice texture and taste. Will certainly make it again.
