Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 9-inch shell pre-made pie crust
- 5 large eggs
- 1 cup half-and-half
- 4 ounces roasted green chilies, diced
- 1 cup shredded pepper jack cheese
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup red bell pepper, diced
- 0.25 cup green onions, sliced
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the pre-made pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish, crimping the edges as desired.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, half-and-half, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Spread the diced roasted green chilies evenly over the bottom of the pie crust.
Sprinkle the shredded pepper jack cheese and sharp cheddar cheese over the chilies, followed by the diced red bell pepper and sliced green onions.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the cheeses and vegetables in the pie crust.
Drizzle the melted butter over the top of the quiche for added richness.
Carefully transfer the quiche to the preheated oven. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the center is set and a knife inserted into it comes out clean.
Remove the quiche from the oven and allow it to rest for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing. This will make it easier to cut and help the flavors meld.
Slice into wedges and serve warm. Enjoy your Southwestern Green Chili Quiche with fresh salsa or a dollop of sour cream if desired!
