Ingredients

1 (9 inch) unbaked pastry shell
2 cups fat-free half-and-half
4 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1/2 cup frozen corn, thawed
4 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
1 (4 ounce) can diced green chile peppers, drained
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, or to taste

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
2 Place pastry shell in a 9-inch pie pan or quiche pan. Prick the bottom and sides with a fork.
3 Bake in the preheated oven for 8 minutes. Remove and set aside. Leave the oven on.
4 Whisk half-and-half, eggs, salt, and pepper together in a medium bowl until light and fluffy.
5 Sprinkle cheese, corn, chile peppers, and crumbled bacon into the pie shell. Carefully pour egg mixture over top.
6 Bake in the oven until filling is just about set but a little wiggly in the center, about 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool for 10 minutes. Garnish with parsley and serve.
