1 pound mild ground pork sausage |
1 small onion, chopped |
1/2 green bell pepper, chopped |
2 (10-oz.) cans diced tomatoes and green chiles, undrained |
3 cups (12 oz.) shredded monterey jack cheese with peppers or monterey jack cheese |
6 large eggs |
2 cups milk |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon pepper |
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro |
Directions:
1. Cook sausage in a large skillet over medium-high heat, stirring until it crumbles and is no longer pink. Drain and return to skillet. Add chopped onion and bell pepper to sausage; sauté over medium heat 5 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Stir in tomatoes and green chiles; reduce heat. Cover and simmer 10 minutes.
2. Layer half each of tortilla pieces, sausage mixture, and cheese in a lightly greased 13 x 9 baking dish. Repeat layers.
3. Whisk together eggs and next 3 ingredients; pour over layers in dish.
4. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 25 to 30 minutes or until lightly browned and set in center. Sprinkle with cilantro before serving.
