Description

Sliced green chiles serve as the base of this quick, crustless quiche that easily adapts to any of your favorite cheeses and vegetables.

Ingredients

cooking spray
8 canned whole green chiles, or more to taste
7 eggs
1/2 cup chopped onions
3 tablespoons heavy cream
3/4 teaspoon garlic salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 pound sharp Cheddar cheese, cubed
2 tomatoes, sliced, or to taste

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Spray a pie plate with cooking spray.
2 Cut chiles lengthwise into strips. Line strips over the bottom of pie plate to form a crust, placing pointed ends toward the center.
3 Beat eggs in a bowl and mix in onions, cream, garlic salt, cumin, and pepper. Fold in Cheddar cheese. Layer tomatoes over the chile 'crust,' and pour egg mixture on top.
4 Bake in the preheated oven until quiche is set, 30 to 35 minutes.
