Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Lightly spray a 9-inch pie plate with cooking spray. (5 minutes)
02
StepCarefully cut the green chiles lengthwise into strips. Arrange the chile strips over the bottom and up the sides of the pie plate to form a complete crust, positioning the pointed ends towards the center. Overlap the strips as needed to create a solid layer. (10 minutes)
03
StepIn a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, chopped onions, heavy cream, garlic salt, cumin, and black pepper until well combined. Gently fold in the cubed Cheddar cheese. (5 minutes)
04
StepLayer the tomato slices evenly over the chile 'crust'. Pour the egg mixture over the tomatoes, ensuring it distributes evenly throughout the pie plate. (2 minutes)
05
StepBake in the preheated oven until the quiche is set and the top is lightly golden brown, approximately 30 to 35 minutes. A knife inserted near the center should come out clean. (35 minutes)
06
StepLet the quiche cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This allows the filling to set further. (10 minutes)
