I had to bring us back into spicy food land once again. I just love it! A few nights ago, we had a green chili quiche for dinner and it was so yummy! Yes, we couldn’t find the right green chili peppers at the market and resorted to using a few serranos, which makes it extra spicy, but it was still delicious.

You can make modifications to this dish, if you’d like. For instance, you could cut back a bit on the onions and add bacon, use different peppers, cheese types, etc. But the fundamentals of this dish are yummy, making it a great foundation to build your next quiche masterpiece!

INGREDIENTS

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 4 green chile peppers, seeded and chopped
• 1 small onion, diced
• 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste
• 1 (9 inch) unbaked pie crust
• 8 ounces Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
• 3 eggs, beaten
• 3/4 cup milk
• 4 ounces Cheddar cheese, shredded

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook peppers and onion until tender. Transfer to a bowl and mix with feta, sour cream and salt.
3. Spread bottom of pie crust with Monterey Jack cheese. Top cheese with pepper and onion mixture. Mix eggs and milk in a bowl; evenly pour over onion and pepper mixture. Top with Cheddar cheese.
