Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces large eggs
- 0.5 cups heavy cream
- 0.75 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cups Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cups green chili peppers, roasted, peeled, and diced
- 2 pieces green onions, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.125 teaspoons cayenne pepper (optional, for extra spice)
- 1 as needed cooking spray or butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch pie dish or tart pan with cooking spray or butter.
In a small skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the garlic and green onions, sautéing for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and softened. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, roasted green chili peppers, sautéed garlic and green onions, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using). Mix until evenly incorporated.
Pour the egg mixture into the prepared pie dish or tart pan, spreading it evenly.
Place the dish on the center rack of the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the center is set and a knife inserted into the middle comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and let cool for about 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
