One of Carla's grandmother's original [[Cuban]] recipes.

[[Carla]]'s comments:

My mother prefers this recipe without the [[Scotch bonnet|scotch bonnet]] [[Peppers|peppers]].. ..but this dish only has a hint of it and is a nice fiery way to enjoy a quiche! If you prefer the Jamaican version of this recipe, just add a bit more [[Tropical Sun scotch bonnet pepper sauce]].
