"At breakfast we were offered an array of choices, from fruit to quiche, with cereal in between, and Mary and Alan accommodated special requests. They set a friendly tone which rubbed off on the guests--we enjoyed our breakfast conversations with the other guests." TripAdvisor Review MEXICAN QUICHE

Sprinkle remaining cheese over sausage Beat cream, half and half, eggs, seasonings, cilantro, salt and pepper together with whisk. Pour over pie crust slowly so all liquid is absorbed. Bake for about 35-40 minutes until quiche is puffy and golden and center does not seem liquid when moved. Allow to cool at least 10-15 minutes before cutting.
