How to Make Chorizo Mushroom Quiche
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, heavy cream (or your dairy mixture), salt, pepper, and nutmeg (if using). Set aside.
- Heat olive oil (if using) in a skillet over medium heat. Add crumbled chorizo and sliced mushrooms; sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until chorizo is browned and mushrooms are tender.
- Stir in the sliced green onions during the last minute of cooking.
- Grease a 9-inch pie plate or quiche dish with butter.
- Spread the chorizo and mushroom mixture evenly over the bottom of the prepared dish.
- Sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese.
- Pour the egg mixture over the cheese and chorizo.
- Sprinkle with paprika (optional).
- Bake for 25-35 minutes, or until the quiche is set and lightly golden brown. Cooking time may vary depending on your oven; start checking around 25 minutes.
- Let the quiche cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
- Garnish with extra green onions, chili flakes, or sliced black olives, as desired.
