- 1 pie crust
- 3 eggs
- 1 1/2 cups half-and-half
- 1 cup jalapeno jack cheese, shredded
- 1 green chili, diced
- 1 tomato, sliced
- 1 avocado, sliced
Instructions:
-
Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220 degrees Celsius).

Prepare the Crust: Take your pie crust and firmly press it into a 9-inch pie pan, ensuring it covers the bottom and sides evenly.
-
Bake the Crust: Place the pie crust in the preheated oven and bake for 8 minutes, allowing it to set slightly.
-
Prepare the Filling: While the crust is baking, prepare the filling. In a small bowl, beat the eggs and then add the half-and-half, mixing until well combined.

Layer the Ingredients: Once the crust has baked for 8 minutes, remove it from the oven. Sprinkle the shredded jalapeno jack cheese evenly over the bottom of the crust, followed by the diced green chili.

Bake the Quiche: Place the quiche in the oven and bake at 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220 degrees Celsius) for 15 minutes.
-
Reduce Heat: After 15 minutes, reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) and continue baking for an additional 20 minutes, or until the quiche is golden brown and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Final Touches: Once the quiche is fully baked, remove it from the oven. Arrange the sliced tomatoes and avocados on top of the quiche for a fresh and colorful finish.
