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

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, half-and-half, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 3

Spread the diced roasted green chilies evenly over the bottom of the pie crust.

Step 4

Sprinkle the shredded pepper jack cheese and sharp cheddar cheese over the chilies, followed by the diced red bell pepper and sliced green onions.

Step 5

Pour the egg mixture evenly over the cheeses and vegetables in the pie crust.

Step 6

Drizzle the melted butter over the top of the quiche for added richness.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Slice into wedges and serve warm. Enjoy your Southwestern Green Chili Quiche with fresh salsa or a dollop of sour cream if desired!
