1 Pie Crust<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 cup Monterey Jack Cheese, small cubes<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1 cup Mild Cheddar Cheese, small cubes<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1\/2 cup Hatch chiles, roasted, peeled, and roughly chopped (4-8 chiles depending on size; add more for extra spice)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1\/4 cup sweet onion, chopped<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1 1\/4 cups Half and Half<\/p>\n\n\n\n
4 Eggs<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Salt and Pepper to taste<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Oven Preparation: Preheat your oven to 350\u00b0F.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Crust Setup: Carefully press the pie crust into a 9-inch deep dish pie plate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cook the Bacon: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon or your chosen meat until browned, then drain the grease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Layer the Ingredients: Distribute the crumbled bacon or meat, Hatch chiles, and chopped onions over the pie crust. Scatter the cheese cubes on top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Egg Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the Half and Half, eggs, salt, and pepper. Once well mixed, pour this mixture into the crust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Baking: Bake the quiche for 30 to 40 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rest and Serve: Let the quiche stand for 5 minutes. Cut into wedges and serve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tips: If fresh roasted chiles aren\u2019t available, you can use 1 or 2 4-ounce cans of chopped Hatch Chile peppers from the Mexican food aisle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Enjoy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
