Instructions: Crumble chorizo, brown in skillet & drain. Preheat oven to 375. Butter a 9-inch pie plate, preferable glass or pottery. Line pie plate with chiles, opening each one out completely & arranging with points at center of plate.

Arrange chorizo in an even layer across bottom of chile crust. Beat together eggs, cilantro & cream; very carefully pour into pie plate, being sure not to disturb distribution of sausage. Evenly sprinkle cheese over egg mixture, then place onion rings in a circle just inside edge of pie plate. Sprinkle caribe or pequin evenly over all & bake 30 minutes or until a knife inserted in center comes out clean. Serve with salsa, if desired.

Makes 6 servings.
