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)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Scatter the roasted green chiles evenly over the bottom of the pie crust.
Step 4
In a medium bowl, combine the Monterey Jack cheese and sharp cheddar cheese. Sprinkle the cheese mixture evenly over the green chiles.
Step 5
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, half-and-half, flour, salt, black pepper, and ground cumin until smooth and well combined.
Step 6
Slowly pour the egg mixture over the cheese and green chiles in the pie crust, ensuring it spreads evenly.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
Remove the pie from the oven and let it rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing.
Step 9
Slice and serve warm. This Green Chile Cheese Pie pairs wonderfully with a fresh salad or a dollop of sour cream on top.
