Mexicali Quiche Recipe 475

Steps:

• 1. Microwave the Velveeta cheese with the meat mixture for 30 seconds until melted; set aside. Whip together by hand the eggs and cream in a large mixing bowl: mix in the salt and pepper. Add the remaining chopped vegetables, cheese, and tabasco sauce. Stir the meat mixture into the quiche ingredients. Slowly pour into the prepared pie crust (9" pie plate or quiche pan). Note: Pre-cook your crust at 450 degree for about 8 to 10 minutes before adding quiche mixture.
• 2. Bake the quiche at 350 degrees for approximately 30 - 35 minutes, or until the center is set. Check the crust during the last 10 minutes for browning. You may need to add a pie rim or foil rim to protect it from over-browning. Cool 10 minutes before cutting and serving.
• 3. *I added a 1/2 cup of chopped Velveeta Cheese to the taco meat and melted it in the microwave during prep. You can also prepare ground beef with taco seasoning if you do not have leftovers.

Steps:

• Oven at 425 degrees.
• Place pie crust in 9 inch pie plate.
• Sprinkle in bacon, cheese, chilies, onion and olives.
• In large bowl, mix remaining ingredients.
• Pour into pie crust.
• Do not cover.
• Bake 15 minutes, then reduce heat to 300.
• Bake another 30 minutes.
• Test for doneness by inserting knife blade into pie.
• If it comes out clean, then pie is done.
• Remove from oven and let sit 10 minutes.
• Cut and serve.
• I just set oven for 350 and bake 45 minutes.
• I'd check for doneness after 30 minutes.
• If edges start to brown, cover with foil.

Steps:

Heat oil in medium skillet over medium heat. Add onions and garlic. Saute' 5 minutes or until crisp-tender. Heat oven to 450 degrees F. Roll dough into 12 inch circle on lightly floured surface. Transfer to 9 inch pie plate. Trim and flute edges, as desired. Pierce bottom and sides of pastry with a fork. Bake 9 minutes or until lightly browned. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F. Layer, onion mixture, chilies, olives, tomato, and cheese in pie crust. Whisk eggs, milk, cumin, hot pepper sauce, pepper, and 1/2 tsp. salt in a medium bowl. Pour over ingredients in crust. Bake 35 to 40 minutes or until set. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
