Follow The Directions
01
Step
For the crust: In a food processor, combine flour, oats, and salt. Pulse 2-3 times to mix, then process until uniform. Add vegetable oil, pulsing a few times to combine. Gradually add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, pulsing after each addition until the dough forms a ball. (5 minutes)
02
Step
Press the dough evenly into a 9-inch quiche or pie pan, creating a thin layer on the bottom and up the sides. Refrigerate the crust until ready to fill. (5 minutes)
03
Step
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). (5 minutes)
04
Step
For the filling: In a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, cook bacon until browned and crispy, about 10 minutes. Drain on paper towels, discard grease, and crumble when cool enough to handle. (15 minutes)
05
Step
Add chorizo to the skillet; cook, breaking up large clumps with a spatula, until browned, about 5 minutes. Drain and wipe out the skillet. (10 minutes)
06
Step
Melt butter in the same skillet over medium heat. Add onions and cook until soft and translucent, about 3 minutes. (5 minutes)
07
Step
Add bell peppers and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in hash browns and cook for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in green chilies, bacon, chorizo, and half a cup of Cheddar cheese. Set aside. (15 minutes)
08
Step
In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, half-and-half, sour cream, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper until well blended. Stir in the vegetable-bacon mixture. (5 minutes)
09
Step
Remove the crust from the refrigerator and place on a rimmed baking sheet. Pour in the filling, distributing it evenly across the bottom of the crust. (2 minutes)
10
Step
Bake the quiche in the center of the preheated oven until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, about 35-55 minutes. Remove the quiche to a cooling rack and sprinkle the remaining half cup of Cheddar on top while still hot. Cool on the rack for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. (65 minutes)
For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of smoked paprika to the egg mixture.
To prevent the crust from becoming soggy, blind bake it for 10-15 minutes before adding the filling. Line the crust with parchment paper and fill with pie weights or dried beans.
Serve with a side of your favorite salsa, sour cream, or avocado slices for a complete and satisfying meal.
