I had bought 2 dozen enormous organic eggs and I have been looking for savory dishes in which to use them. I found this and was very easy to make and turned out wonderfully. Although I did make changes...we're not big on pork so I replaced that with black beans, I also took the advice of other reviewers and replaces the canned chilies with a 1/2 of a fresh one which I cooked with the onions (as another reviewer suggested)and I didn't have cottage cheese so I replaced that with sour cream. I also added a green bell pepper. Other than that everything else was observed. So, it's true my version strayed from the original quite a bit. But the eggs were there and the tortilla crust, which by the way we really liked. Thanks for the recipe.

Good recipe - not sure I really like the tortilla - kind of a weird texture. I would make again maybe with something different as the crust.

My family really liked this. We did add extra chilies and more onion than the recipe called for. The only problem we had was the corn tortillas along the edges browned a lot faster and almost burnt before the quiche was done. We had to wrap them in aluminum foil.

Wow, this was really good. And it looked just like the picture. I took another reviewers advice and used sour cream instead of cottage cheese. And low fat milk instead of the whipping cream. It came out just fine. I also used plain ground pork instead of sausage because I couldn't find any at the store. I served this with sour cream and diced tomatoes. My husband and I loved it and will make again.

This was pretty tasty. The the tortilla crust added an interesting flavor, but was really hard to cut because the tortillas had become very crunchy during cooking for some reason. The quiche was pretty much destroyed after my efforts to cut it into slices. I am glad I put mine in a deep dish pie plate, it think it would have run over in a smaller pan. It also took longer than the specified time before the center was set in mine.

This was certainly Fun in our mouths!! Wow-what a great idea for utilizing one of our staples, corn tortilla's-we call them our "cornies". I made some slight variations, I used 1 full pound of sausage, 7 "cornies" instead of 5, sub'd Jalepeno Jack cheese for Monterey, eliminated the whipping cream and cottage cheese and used 1/2 cup sour cream and 1/4 2% milk. I didn't have any green chili's on hand, so I cut up 2 fresh jalepeno peppers and cooked them with the sausage, also added onions to that mixture. (Yum!) I decided to bake it directly in our 12" Cast Iron Skillet, and topped it with tomato slices and sliced green onions. More for the visual than anything. We loved the way it looked, I immediately snapped a picture of it! A dollop of sour cream with a splash of your favorite hot sauce, definitely to become a family favorite. Thanks for the great idea!

This was great! Love the corn tortilla crust. Didn't think the cottage cheese added anything--will make it without cottage cheese next time.

I love the "crust"! I thought that the tortillas might get lost and mushy in the recipe but they didn't, they just bulked up. I will definitely make this again but next time I'll add onions and some extra chili powder. Some tips to make it even healthier, I used 3/4 cup light cool whip instead of a half cup whipping cream and couldn't even taste the difference, I also used a stronger tasting jack cheese, reduced fat sausage and light cheddar.
