GREEN CHILI CHEESE SQUARES
These make a great appetizer. They taste like little quiches but are much easier to make. ( have done them in an 8 x 8 pan and they turn out just as good) Sorry this photo is so awful; I will take another next time I make them. I did have great compliments this last time I made them, and that is when I decided to take the photo. Didn't have much to work with because they were almost gone :--)

CHILE CHEESE SQUARES
This is a family favorite and it is very easy to make. We originally discovered it as an appetizer, but I think it is great for brunch. I also make it just for myself and freeze the squares to have for lunch in the future. The recipe is very open to substitutions. Fresh green chiles can be used if you happen to live where you can get them and the recipe can probably be made without them or with any amount according to your tastes.

JOHN WAYNE'S GREEN CHILIE SQUARES
I found this recipe in a magazine. John Wayne was my Daddy's favorite cowboy, so this quickly became one of his favorite dishes for me to make for him. I like to serve it when I make a pot of pinto beans, fried potatoes, and cornbread. Add some slices of onion, some chow chow and you have a good old "country dinner"! Hint: I add a chopped fresh jalapeno and /or green onion to make it spicy.
