Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 refrigerated pie crust (half of15-ounce package), room temperature
8 strips bacon
1 4-ounce can diced green chilies, drained
4 green onions, chopped
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese (about 4 ounces)
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese (about 4 ounces)
1 1/4 cups half and half
4 eggs
1/2 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°F. Unfold crust. Using wet fingertips, press together any tears. Press crust into 9-inch deep dish pie plate. Press foil over crust to hold shape. Bake 5 minutes. Remove from oven; remove foil. Reduce temperature to 400°F.
  • Cook bacon in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat until brown and crisp. Transfer to paper towels and drain. Crumble bacon. Sprinkle bacon, then chilies and green onion over crust. Combine Monterey Jack cheese and cheddar cheese and sprinkle over. Beat half and half, eggs and salt in medium bowl to blend. Pour half and half mixture into crust.
  • Bake quiche until knife inserted into center comes out clean, about 45 minutes. Let quiche stand 5 minutes. Cut quiche into wedges and serve.

Tips:

  • To easily remove the skin from the poblano peppers, roast them over an open flame or under a broiler until the skin blackens. Then, place them in a paper bag and let them steam for 10 minutes. The skin will then peel off easily.
  • If you don't have a rolling pin, you can use a wine bottle or even a glass to roll out the pie crust.
  • To prevent the quiche from becoming too brown on top, cover it with aluminum foil during the last 10 minutes of baking.
  • Let the quiche cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. This will allow it to set and make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

This fresh green chile quiche is a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast, lunch, or dinner option. It's packed with flavor from the poblano peppers, green chiles, and cheese. The creamy custard filling is perfectly complemented by the flaky pie crust. Whether you're serving it to a crowd or just enjoying it yourself, this quiche is sure to be a hit.
