For a vegetarian option, substitute the pork sausage with a plant-based alternative or sautéed vegetables like bell peppers and onions. Feel free to experiment with different cheeses, such as Pepper Jack or a blend of Mexican cheeses, to add extra flavor. To prevent the tortilla crust from becoming soggy, you can lightly brush it with melted butter or olive oil before adding the filling. Let the quiche cool slightly before slicing to help it hold its shape better.
