Recipe: Mexican Quiche



Here’s a favorite recipe of mine that I wanted to share. It is easy to make and is a good dish to share with a group of people, or for a brunch.

Mexican Quiche

1 Pillsbury roll out pie crust
4 eggs
1 cup light cream
1 small package shredded cheddar cheese
3 chopped jalapeño peppers
1 tsp. chilli powder
1 small onion chopped
1 pound Jimmy Dean Sausage

Unroll the pie crust in a glass pie plate and set aside. In a mixing bowl, combine the eggs, cream and cheese, until well blended and set aside. In frying pan, brown the Jimmy Dean Sausage, jalapeño peppers, chilli powder and onion. Pour the crumbled mixture into the prepared pie shell. Pour the egg mixture over the top. Bake in oven for 30 minutes at 350 degrees.

Enjoy!

Statuario Extra White Marble

Many white marbles have a gentle veining pattern that move throughout the stone, expressing a  look of continuity.

Notice how the veining flows freely from the countertops up through the full height backsplash.
