Give your breakfast crowd a stick-to-the-ribs jump start on Christmas morning with this cheesy tart. It’s packed with sausage, plenty of heat, holiday color and hearty Tex-Mex flavor. —Pamela Shank, Parkersburg, West Virginia
Ingredients:
1/2 pound johnsonville® hot ground sausage
4 teaspoons chopped seeded jalapeno pepper
1 tablespoon finely chopped red onion
1 can (4 ounces) chopped green chilies
1 sheet refrigerated pie pastry
1-1/4 cups shredded monterey jack cheese, divided
6 eggs
1/3 cup half-and-half cream
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon finely chopped sweet red pepper
1 tablespoon finely chopped green pepper
optional toppings: sour cream, salsa, chopped tomatoes and sliced green onions
Directions:
1. In a large skillet, cook the sausage, jalapeno and onion and over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Stir in chilies.
2. Press pastry onto the bottom and up the sides of an ungreased 9-in. tart pan with removable bottom; trim edges. Sprinkle 1/2 cup cheese over crust; top with sausage mixture.
3. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, cream, salt and pepper. Pour over sausage mixture. Sprinkle with red and green peppers and 1/2 cup cheese.
4. Bake at 350° for 25-30 minutes or until eggs are set and a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Let stand for 10 minutes before cutting. Serve with toppings of your choice. Yield: 6 servings.
