Jalapeno Breakfast Pie

Jalapenos are the most popular chile peppers in the US. This is probably due to the availability and versatility of the chile. Jalapenos have a balanced combination of flavor and heat.

The demand for these have caused breeders to develop a broad range of varieties. You can now get jalapenos with various heat level and sizes. These can be used in salsas, stuffed, or eaten straight with cheeseburgers (my personal favorite).

Ingredients:

4-6 jalapeno peppers, chopped
6 large eggs
2 cups sharp cheddar cheese
1 cup plain bread crumbs
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp white pepper

Instructions:

The cinnamon in this recipe gives it a slightly sweet flavor, and it’s a nice accent for the pepper heat. If you’re not quite in the mood for sweets, try removing the cinnamon altogether and increasing the amount of white pepper for a deeper, savory taste.

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

Add chopped jalapeno peppers to the bottom of a lightly oiled baking dish. Spread evenly. Sprinkle peppers with cheese. Beat eggs and pour the mixture over the cheese.

Mix bread crumbs with cinnamon, salt, and white pepper. Distribute evenly over the egg mixture. Bake 20-30 minutes, until lightly browned. Slice and serve.
