Preparation Process:
1. Prep the Tortillas: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish. Lay the tortillas in the bottom of the dish, overlapping them slightly to form a crust. Brush the tortillas with melted butter.
2. Whisk the Filling: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.
3. Assemble the Bake: Pour the egg mixture over the tortillas. Sprinkle with green onions, Monterey Jack cheese, cheddar cheese, chorizo, and roasted red pepper.
4. Bake to Perfection: Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the center is set. Let cool for a few minutes before serving.
Total Time: Approximately 45 minutes
Serving Ideas:
Serve the Sunrise Scramble hot, with a side of fresh fruit, a dollop of sour cream, or a drizzle of hot sauce. For a truly indulgent breakfast, pair it with a cup of rich, dark coffee or a refreshing glass of orange juice.
A Culinary Fusion
This dish is a testament to the beauty of culinary fusion. It borrows the hearty warmth of a classic quiche from French cuisine and infuses it with the bold flavors of Mexican cuisine. The tortillas provide a crispy, satisfying base, while the rich egg custard is elevated by the vibrant flavors of chorizo, peppers, and cheese. Each bite is a journey through cultures, a celebration of taste and tradition.
As the golden hue of the Sunrise Scramble fills your plate, may it awaken your senses and nourish your soul.
