  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
     1/2   lb           Chorizo Sausage -- Bulk
   8       oz           Whole Green Chiles -- *
   4       oz           Monterey Jack Cheese -- **
   5       ea           Eggs -- Large
     1/2   c            Milk
     1/4   ts           Pepper

  *     You should use 2 4-oz cans of the green chiles
  and drain each can
      before using. ** There should be about 1 cup of
  the shredded Monterey Jack Cheese. Heat the oven to
  350 degrees F. Generously grease a 9-inch pie plate 1
  1/4-inches deep. Cook and stir the sausage in a
  skillet until done; drain on paper toweling. Cut a
  lengthwise slit in each chile and open them up.
  Arrange on the bottom and sides of the pie plate
  forming a shell. Sprinkle with the cheese and sausage.
  Beat the eggs slightly and then beat in the milk and
  pepper. Pour the mixture into the chile-line pie
  plate. Bake, uncovered, until a knife inserted halfway
  between the center and the edge comes out clean, about
  30 minutes. Let stand for 10 minutes before cutting.
