Extreme Jalapeno Popper Pie

This scrumptious, show-stopping Quiche is sure to wow everyone at the breakfast table! 

Mexican Cheese-stuffed jalapenos and spicy Chorizo are tucked inside a savory Dutch Baby crust to create an extreme Quiche the French have probably never dreamed of. ;-)

Extreme Jalapeno Popper Pie isn't a recipe you can throw together in 5 minutes ... but I think you'll agree that food this delicious is definitely worth the extra effort.

Step 1: Shopping list and Tools:

Here's the complete shopping list:  

• 4 large eggs
• 1 cup half and half
• 1/2 cup milk
• 8 oz. Mexican Chorizo sausage
• 8 Jalapeno Peppers- medium
• 1/4 cup Red Peppers- any variety
• 6 oz Chihuahua cheese- (may substitute Monterey Jack)
• 8 oz Colby-Jack Cheese
• 1/2 plus 1/3 cup flour
• 1/2 cup yellow onion- chopped
• 3 Tablespoons Butter
• Garlic Salt
• Black Pepper
• Tabasco 
• Ground Cumin

Not to worry... I'll break this list of ingredients down in each Step as needed and used. ;-)  

Important Tools:

• This pie is made with a savory Dutch Baby "pie crust".  You'll need to use a #5 cast iron skillet -OR- a capacity-equivalent ironstone baking dish for peak results.
• An electric hand mixer.  
• latex gloves to handle the jalapeno peppers.
• Potholders that withstand extreme heat.

Well! I think I just found what we're having for Christmas brunch this year. I'm salivating already.

Stranger things have happened! ;-D

Yum - this sounds amazing! My husband will be out of his mind when he sees this. Do you ever make your own chorizo? It is surprisingly easy.

[bajablue]

Hi wold!  I live on the coast of Baja so I buy my Chorizo here.

It's very inexpensive... and it's also "authentic"... which means it has some ingredients I'd really rather not think  about, if you know what I mean? ;-)

Thank you for commenting!

OMG ! that sounds and looks soooo GOOD !

[bajablue]

It tastes mighty fine, too.

lol... not all the time, but as a chilihead, you did cross my mind. ;-D

[l8nite]

I have to figure out how to downsize it or I'd be eating it for a week ! I know that ceramic ramekins don't work well for yorkshire pudding but I never tried them for dutch babies or maybe this is an excuse for getting a small cast iron skillet..= )

It's just hubby and me here.
We ate this over a course of 3 days.
It reheats (microwaves) GREAT!!!

This sounds AMAZING. I NEED to make this...now.

Thanks for sharing, and good luck in the Extreme Challenge!

Oh my this looks fantastically creative and nicely spicy. Another great entry!

[mygibzone]

I love poppers, so this is a HOMERUN for me!

[mygibzone]

P.S. I've never heard of this "Dutch Baby" crust is it a common thing? Also, what's the texture like? Is it flaky or more like bread. It looks more like a bread type crust. If so I'm digging it!

[bajablue]

Well, gib... It's an eggy-faux-crust-like-yorkshire-pudding for lack of a better description. ;-D

The "crust" texture isn't flakey, and it's different than the quiche filling.

Here's an Instructables link to Dutch Babies . They are usually served sweet.
