A fluffy, cheesy, and flavorful Spicy Green Chile Quiche that packs a kick, perfect for brunch or any meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pie crust (homemade or store-bought, 9-inch)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small yellow onion, finely diced
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon cumin (optional)
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded Monterey Jack or cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup diced canned green chiles, drained
  • Fresh parsley or coriander, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Fit the crust into a 9-inch pie dish, prick the base with a fork, and prebake for 8 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
  2. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onions and sauté for 5 minutes until golden and soft. Set aside to cool.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk eggs, milk, and cream together. Add salt, pepper, garlic powder, and cumin. Stir in onions, green chiles, and half the cheese.
  4. Pour the mixture into the prepared crust. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.
  5. Bake for 35–40 minutes, until puffed, golden, and just set in the center. Cool for 10 minutes before slicing.

Notes

  • Serve with a drizzle of creamy avocado-lime dressing or a side of spicy salsa for that perfect balance.
  • Add cooked turkey bacon or shredded chicken for extra protein.
  • Use pepper jack cheese for a bolder kick.
  • Make it crustless for a low-carb, gluten-free version.
