Mexican quiche topcook.tomathouse.com
Ingredients:
- 4 large eggs
- 3/4 cup heavy cream
- 3 tbsp. l. olive oil
- 1 small poblano pepper, seeded and thinly sliced
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- 0.5 cups of grated Mexican cheese mix
- 1 can (280 g) tomato sauce for enchiladas
- 3 corn tortillas, 15 cm in diameter, 2 cut in half
- 1 jicama (0.5 - 0.7 kg.)
- Juice of 1 lime
- 0.5 cup chopped fresh cilantro
Preparation:
- Preheat oven to 200°C.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and some freshly ground black pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over high heat. Add the poblano peppers, sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt, and cook until crisp-brown, 5 to 8 minutes. Add to the egg mixture along with the green onions and grated cheese, reserving 2 tablespoons of the cheese; stir to combine.
- Pour the tomato sauce into the skillet and bring to a simmer; remove from heat. Using tongs, dip the whole tortilla into the sauce to coat. Place in a 9-inch pie dish. Dip the tortilla halves into the sauce and arrange them on the sides of the dish, rounded edges up. Set aside any remaining sauce.
- Pour the egg mixture over the tortilla shell, sprinkle evenly with the reserved 2 tablespoons of cheese, and drizzle with 3 tablespoons of the remaining enchilada sauce. Bake until golden brown and the filling is set, about 25 minutes.
- Meanwhile, peel and slice the jicama into strips. Toss in a bowl with lime juice, cilantro, the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, and 1/4 cup water; season with salt and pepper. Heat the remaining tomato enchilada sauce over medium heat, thinning with a couple of tablespoons of water if necessary. Cut the quiche into wedges and drizzle with the sauce. Serve with the jicama.
