We really enjoyed this! Love how it came together while baking. I like the fact you use sour cream and no milk, makes more of a sturdier quiche. I made a homemade pie crust (Crisco one is posted here), used Oaxaca cheese, roasted hatch chiles (not fond of the canned) and added salt & pepper. Also added a bit more shredded cheese on top before baking. I’ll use a mix of cheddar & Oaxaca next go. This will be made a lot. Thank you for sharing.

I had some left over tomatoes and onions I needed to use so I only use those, but I did everything else according to the recipe except I added a little extra cheese. It tastes good but I feel like it could use a little more spice

This was nice! I used extra sharp cheddar and mild rotel, leaving out the extra can of green chiles. Used light sour cream. Otherwise followed the recipe. This reheated nicely for my lunch today. Thanks for sharing! [Made for French forum Spice of the Month Event: Paprika]

What a great recipe! I love the flavors, how easy it is to put together, and how pretty it looks on the plate! :) I did add 1/4 tsp of garlic powder, and used chunky style Rotels tomatoes and chiles. I opted not to use additional chilles, but added some left over spicy sausage. Delicious! Thanks loof! I will make this again! Made for PRMR

Leave the olives in but use green olives. Added an extra egg, higher amounts of spices (if ya like it spicy) and homemade crust all makes it yummy ;)
