How to Make Spicy Sausage Quiche

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  3. In a large skillet, cook 1 lb Italian sausage (removed from casings) over medium-high heat until evenly browned, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain off any excess grease and crumble.
  4. Spread the crumbled sausage evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
  5. Sprinkle 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese and 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese over the sausage.
  6. Evenly distribute 1/2 cup chopped yellow onion, 1/4 cup chopped green chiles (canned), and 1-2 finely chopped jalapeños (adjust to your spice preference) over the cheese.
  7. In a medium bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs, 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  8. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the sausage and cheese in the baking dish.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean. Start checking at 18 minutes.
  10. Let cool for 10 minutes before cutting into squares and serving.
