Crustless Potato Jalapeño Quiche
Description
The preparation begins by sautéing onions and diced Yukon Gold potatoes until they start to soften, then adding minced jalapeño and spices such as chili powder and smoked paprika to develop warmth and aroma. This vegetable mixture is spread in an oiled pie dish. A whisked custard of eggs, milk, half-and-half, and kosher salt is poured over the vegetables, then grated pepper jack cheese is sprinkled on top along with thin slices of jalapeño for decoration and added heat.
Baking at 350°F for 35 to 40 minutes sets the custard while melting the cheese, resulting in a sliceable quiche that has tender potato bites and creamy, spicy flavor. The dish can be served with toppings like salsa, avocado, or fresh cilantro to enhance freshness and texture.
