1 refrigerated pie crust, room temperature
8 bacon, slices
1 (4 ounce) can mild green chilies, diced
4 green onions, chopped
1 cup monterey jack cheese, grated
1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, grated
4 large eggs

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh poblano and Anaheim peppers, tomatillos, and onions will give your chile verde quiche the best flavor.
  • Roast the peppers and tomatillos: Roasting the peppers and tomatillos will bring out their natural sweetness and smokiness.
  • Don't overcook the filling: The filling should be cooked until the peppers and tomatillos are soft, but not mushy.
  • Use a good quality cheese: A sharp cheddar cheese or a Mexican cheese blend will give your quiche a rich and flavorful filling.
  • Bake the quiche until the center is set: The quiche is done baking when the center is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Conclusion:

This chile verde quiche is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. The roasted peppers and tomatillos give the quiche a smoky and flavorful filling, while the cheese and eggs make it rich and creamy.
