Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup green chiles (roasted and peeled)
- 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup half-and-half
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 pre-made pie crust (unbaked)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place the pre-made pie crust in a 9-inch pie pan and press it gently into the edges. Trim the excess crust around the edges and crimp as desired.
Scatter the roasted green chiles evenly over the bottom of the pie crust.
In a medium bowl, combine the Monterey Jack cheese and sharp cheddar cheese. Sprinkle the cheese mixture evenly over the green chiles.
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, half-and-half, flour, salt, black pepper, and ground cumin until smooth and well combined.
Slowly pour the egg mixture over the cheese and green chiles in the pie crust, ensuring it spreads evenly.
Carefully transfer the pie to the preheated oven and bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is set. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing.
Slice and serve warm. This Green Chile Cheese Pie pairs wonderfully with a fresh salad or a dollop of sour cream on top.
