Quiche with Green Chiles and Chorizo

Instructions

1. 1

   Pre-bake the pie crust

   • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
   • Gently press the pie crust into a 9-inch pie plate.
   • Prick the bottom and sides of the crust with a fork.
   • Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden. This is called blind baking and prevents a soggy bottom.
   • Remove from oven and set aside. Reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C).
2. 2

   Cook the chorizo and aromatics

   • Place a medium skillet over medium-high heat.
   • Add the chorizo and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
   • Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
   • Stir in the minced garlic and ground cumin and cook for another minute until fragrant.
   • Remove from heat and drain off any excess grease from the skillet.
