Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground breakfast sausage
  • 1/2 cup onion minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 4 ounce can diced green chiles, drained
  • 2 Tablespoons flour
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 cups half & half
  • small handful of fresh cilantro chopped
  • 1 cup Jisa Farmstead Monterey Jack Cheese shredded
  • Pie crust
  • sliced green onion tomatoes and additional cilantro for garnishing/serving if desired

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Line a deep-dish pie plate with your own or a store-bought pie crust, set aside.
  • In a skillet over medium-high heat, brown pork sausage with onion, salt, and red pepper flakes.
  • When the meat is almost cooked, add in the green chilies. Remove from heat, placing on a paper towel-lined plate to drain grease.
