Chorizo Quiche Recipe – Perfect for breakfast

May 16, 2018

Chorizo Quiche Recipe by Patchwork Cactus Blog - a breakfast quiche
Hands up if you want a chorizo quiche recipe? Oh you do? Let me hook you up.

I’m a big fan of quiche, and usually, I like to get a bit of tang in there. Garlic, onion, leek etc. But, I have a pretty strong belief that onion shouldn’t be eaten before lunch and I really wanted a quiche that you can eat for breakfast.

So I got thinking. Chorizo is always a good idea (I think we can all agree on that) and I love the consistency that sour cream gives a quiche so after those two decisions, the recipe kind of just wrote itself.

I don’t think I have ever had Chorizo in a quiche before, but from now on it’s going to be really hard to make one without it. Game changer.

So please enjoy my Chorizo quiche recipe, I made it just for you.

Chorizo Quiche Recipe

Ingredients

  • 5 medium sized eggs. I recommend free range because I'm a good person. You should probably be one too.
  • A 300g tub of sour cream. It's not an exact art though, so whatever you have will do. You can use normal cream or milk but for a really silky texture, I like to use sour cream. 
  • 1 and a half chorizo sausages, chopped into 1 cm slices and cooked. 
  • 1 cup of grated tasty cheese. Again, you can really use any type of cheese you want, quiches are very forgiving. 
  • 2 tablespoons of fresh parsley.
  • 2 sheets of shortcrust pastry.
  • Oil for the dish. 
  • Salt and Pepper to taste. 
  • 1 tomato for decoration. 

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees. 
  2. Chop and cook the chorizo in a frying pan. 
  3. While it is cooling, put the eggs, sour cream, grated cheese, parsley, salt, pepper in a large bowl and stir. I used to layer in the ingredients but now I just whack them in together and give them a mix, it's less fuss and less washing up. 
  4. Oil the deep dish pan and lay one of the pastry sheets in. Don't be too precious, cut the second square into strips and patchwork it all together until the whole dish is covered then with a sharp knife, trim off the excess. 
  5. Now use a fork and press the pastry down the whole way around the crust to make the pattern. This will help it stay in place as well as making it look pretty. Also, put a bunch of holes all over the pastry at this point. 
  6. Put the cooled chorizo in the big bowl with the other ingredients, mix and pour it all into the crust. 
  7. Now with a pastry brush, dip it in the egg mixture and paint all around the edge of the crust so it's all soaked, this will help it to brown but not burn. 
  8. Slice the tomato pretty thin and lay it on some kitchen paper until most of the juice absorbs, now gently lay it on the top of your quiche. 
  9. Bake for 10 mins at 200 then turn it down to 150 and leave it for another 40 mins.
