    Good Special Occassion Breakfast Dish

    Kathryn Smith from Houston, TX

    I take this to special occassion breakfast or brunch. It's always a favorite. I add cooked spicy crumbled breakfast sausage as the bottom layer. I also add sliced canned jalepenos. I use my favoriate Salsa since we don't care for the Ortega salsa. I sometimes add extra cheese or an extra egg. Let guests garnish with sour cream and salsa.

    Yuck!

    Katy Dailey from Austin, TX

    I was very disappointed in this recipe. The texture was off, and it just didn't really taste that great. The flavor of the salsa was overpowering. My husband hated it, too. I will not be making this again.

    O.K.

    JMB from Littleton, CO

    I made this for my husband and two sons. My husband said it was O.K. but not a favorite. My kids hated the texture--they took one bite and only one bite. Won't make this again.

    The Best and so easy!

    Carrie from CA

    This was so easy to make and turned out so good that I have since shared the recipe with several friends. I left out the onion but it still had enough pizazz because of the salsa. Next time I might drain the salsa *slightly* and add a teaspoon of jalapenos for a little zip!

    Out of this World

    Edie Carbone from

    This was so quick and easy and absolutely out of this world. I brought it to work for my co-workers to try and it was a hit. I will definitely make this again and again. Just make sure to buy the deep dish pie shells because the regular pie shells fill up really quickly.

    Firefighter

    Mike Rigsby from Cottonwood, AZ

    Last year 12-2001 I prepared this dish for a Mexican food potluck. It was a hit. I have been invited to this potluck again and this Mexican quiche was requested. Try adding a little seasoned ground beef.

    add to it

    Cynthia Finch from Enterprise OR

    This is a great recipe and you can add alot to make it better. I added a 1 lb of sausage for a great taste and everyone loved it.

    A big hit

    Kearstin Brewer from

    Made this with 5 eggs and it was highly acclaimed at work. There was even enough left over for 2 individual sized crustless quiches for the atkins folks.

    Review for Mexican Quiche

    Tara Trafton from Burnham, ME

    Don't be afraid to experiment with this recipe a little. Add salt and pepper for sure. If you like it spicy, add some hot salsa or hot sauce. It tastes great.
