Prep Time: 20 mins
Cook Time: 35 mins
Total Time: 55 mins
Cuisine: Mexican
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pre-made pie crust
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup shredded cheese (Monterey Jack or your choice)
- 2 cups roasted and peeled chili peppers
- 1/2 cup diced onions
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This will ensure that your quiche cooks evenly and thoroughly.
- Prepare the pie crust by placing it in a 9-inch pie dish. If using a frozen crust, follow the package instructions for thawing and pre-baking, if necessary. Prick the bottom of the crust with a fork to prevent bubbling.
- In a large mixing bowl, crack the 4 large eggs and whisk them until well blended. Add 1 cup of milk to the eggs and continue whisking until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Stir in 1 cup of shredded cheese (Monterey Jack or your choice) into the egg and milk mixture. This will add flavor and richness to your quiche.
- Add 2 cups of roasted and peeled chili peppers to the mixture. You can use a combination of green and red peppers for a vibrant look. Make sure to chop them into bite-sized pieces.
- In a separate pan, sauté 1/2 cup of diced onions over medium heat until they are translucent and fragrant, about 5 minutes. This will enhance their flavor. Once done, add them to the egg mixture.
- Season the mixture with 1 teaspoon of cumin, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Mix everything together until well combined.
- Pour the egg mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly. The ingredients should be well distributed throughout the quiche.
- Place the quiche in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the center is set and a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool for about 5-10 minutes before slicing. This will help the filling to firm up a bit more.
- Cut the quiche into 8 equal slices and serve warm. Enjoy your delicious RBC Chili Rellenos Quiche with a side salad or your favorite salsa!
