Quiet Saturday

Hello all!  Quiet day at my Asylum today.  I like it that way.   I hope everyone had a wonderful week and will enjoy an even more wonderful weekend!  Love your families and enjoy your time! :D  I got my recipe for today when I lived in Ohio from a friend named Erma, she was doing weight watchers at the time.  And this has been at least 15 years ago.  So Weight Watchers is the only thing I know about it, except for the fact that is definitely delicious and super easy.  Enjoy!

Mexican "Quiche"

4 6" flour tortillas

1/4 lb crumbled sausage

1/2 cup red bell pepper

1/2 cup diced red onion

1 small garlic clove, minced

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

3 eggs, lightly beaten 

2 oz shredded cheddar cheese (or taco mix cheese)

1.  Preheat oven to 375°.  In a 9" pie plate arrange tortillas in a single layer over bottom and up sides of plate to form a crust.  Bake until browned, 5-6 minutes; set aside.

2.  Cook sausage, bell pepper, onion and garlic over medium heat, stirring occasionally until sausage is no longer pink.  Remove from heat, stir in lemon juice and cumin.  Add eggs and stir to combine.

3.  Sprinkle 1 ounce cheese over prepared tortilla crust; spread sausage mixture over cheese, then top with remaining 1 oz of cheese.  Bake for 20 minutes, until cheese is melted and sausage mixture is set.

And of course salad on the side is excellent!
