Corn Tortilla Quiche

 Corn Tortilla Quiche

3/4 lb. pork sausage

5 corn tortillas

1 c. shredded Pepper Jack cheese

1 c. shredded Cheddar cheese

1/4 c. chopped canned green chilies

6 eggs, beaten

1/2 c. whipping cream

1/2 c. small-curd cottage cheese

1/2 tsp. chili powder

In a skillet, cook the sausage until no longer pink; drain the grease from the sausage. Place 4 tortillas in a greased 9-inch pie plate, overlapping and extending 1/2 inch beyond the rim. Place the remaining tortilla in the center. Layer the sausage, Pepper Jack and Cheddar cheeses, and chilies in the pie plate. Combine the eggs, cream, cottage cheese and chili powder. Slowly pour the egg mixture over the cheese. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes or until the center is set. Cut into wedges and serve.
