Arizona Breakfast Pie

Carol Salazar from Florence, Arizona, says the local cowboys enjoy this quiche, just as long as you don't call it a quiche.

Ingredients:
1 pound bulk pork sausage 1 9-inch unbaked pie shell
1 1/2 cups Jack cheese, shredded
2 tablespoons pimento, diced
1/3 cup green chili, hot or mild, cut into strips
3 tablespoons onions
4 eggs, beaten
1 cup cream

Directions:
Prepare sausage, breaking up pieces, cook until done; drain. In the unbaked pie shell, sprinkle the cooked sausage, top with cheese, pimento, chili and onion. Mix eggs and cream, pour over ingredients in pie shell.

Bake at 375 degrees F for 40 to 45 minutes or until eggs are set. Cool for about 10 minutes, slice and serve. Can be prepared the night before and refrigerated (add 5 minutes to baking time).

Makes 6 servings.
