One of the "extra-curricular" activities at my work is a company cookbook. Ideas are being solicited from employees to make a cookbook with recipes, entertaining and etiquette tips and original artwork. My submission is a simple recipe, but delicious. My mom used to make it now and again and it's just melt-in-your-mouth quiche awesomeness. I give you: Green Chile Pie.
1 1/2 cup shredded Monterrey Jack Cheese
4 eggs
1 1/2 cup Milk (or 2 cups half and half)
2 cans whole green chiles (or fresh if you are so lucky)
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
cilantro to garnish
Take the whole green chiles and slice them open. Fan them out in the bottom of a pie pan to make a "crust" of green chiles.
Layer the cheese into the pie pan.
In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt and pepper.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the pie pan.
Bake at 350 degrees for 20-30 minutes.
Garnish with cilantro if you've got it.
