Quiche: Times Two!

My husband's family stayed with us for a weekend in October when our baby was baptized.  I made two quiches for breakfast.  One chocked full of jalepenos and green chilies.  My brother-in-law do not have the same love for spicy foods that the rest do (especially in the morning!) so, I made a tamer version for us.  I made these the night before and just popped them in the oven the next morning.

Tex-Mex Quiche:
9 inch pie crust
1 lb. breakfast sausage
4 eggs
1/2 c. half and half
4 oz can green chilies, drained
2 cups pepperjack cheese
1 cup cheddar cheese
jalapenos

Brown sausage and crumble; drain and set aside.  Whisk together eggs, half and half, green chilies, and salt & pepper (to taste); set aside.  Fill unbaked pie shell with cheese.  Top with sausage and pour egg mixture over sausage then scatter jalapenos on top (again--to taste!)  Bake @ 375 for about 45 minutes or until the center is set.

"Boring but Delicious" Quiche:

9 inch pie crust

4 eggs
1/2 c. half and half
