Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

  • 12 ounces bulk pork sausage

  • 5 (6 inch) corn tortillas

  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese

  • 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

  • ¼ cup canned chopped green chiles

  • 6 eggs, beaten

  • ½ cup heavy whipping cream

  • ½ cup ricotta cheese

  • ½ teaspoon chili powder

  • ¼ cup minced fresh cilantro

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch pie plate.

  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add sausage; cook and stir until crumbly, evenly browned, and no longer pink, about 10 minutes. Drain and discard any excess grease.

  3. Place 4 tortillas in the prepared pie plate, overlapping and extending 1/2-inch beyond rim; place remaining tortilla in center. Layer sausage, Monterey Jack cheese, Cheddar cheese, and green chiles over tortillas. Beat eggs, heavy whipping cream, ricotta cheese, and chili powder together in a bowl; slowly pour into pie plate.

  4. Bake in the preheated oven until center is set and puffed, about 45 minutes. Sprinkle with cilantro; cut into wedges.
