🍽️ Recipe Yield: 1 Quiche
Ingredients:
- 6 cups monterey jack and cheddar cheese blend
- 1 green chili peppers
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
- 1 pie crust
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3 eggs
Instructions:
-
Preparation: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).
-
Cheese Blend: If not already combined, grate or shred the monterey jack and cheddar cheese into a bowl. 🧀

Cream Mixture: In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, pepper, and a dash of Tabasco sauce for a flavorful kick. 🥚
-
Assemble: Take your pie crust and spread the shredded cheese evenly over the bottom. Slice the green chili peppers and arrange them on top of the cheese layer.
-
Pour: Carefully pour the prepared cream mixture over the cheese and chili peppers, ensuring it covers the entire surface evenly. 🥛
-
Bake: Place the quiche in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is set. 🕒

Serve: Once baked to perfection, remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing. Serve hot with a side of salsa for an extra burst of flavor. 🌶️🔥
Cooking Tips:
- For added convenience, you can purchase a pre-made pie crust from your local grocery store.
- If you prefer a milder flavor, you can adjust the amount of green chili peppers or omit the Tabasco sauce altogether.
- This quiche is best enjoyed fresh from the oven, but any leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to three days. Simply reheat in the oven or microwave before serving. 🌟
