Ingredients

  • 2 Poblano chiles **Side Note: I used a total of 3/4 cup of combined green chilies. You can also use canned chilies.
  • 2-3 Hatch Chiles
  • 1 Pre-made Pie Crust
  • 4 eggs
  • ½ cup whole milk
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • Sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste
  • ½ cup sharp cheddar, shredded
  • ½ cup Monterey jack, shredded

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to broil with a rack near the top of the oven.
  2. Place the chile peppers on a baking sheet and place and directly under the broiler. Char both sides of the chile peppers until blackened, about 2-3 minutes per side. Watch carefully.
  3. Remove immediately from the oven and place the chile peppers in a zip lock bag and seal.
  4. Set aside for 10 minutes then remove all the charred skin from each pepper along with the stem and seeds. Slice into small pieces. Side Note: I used a total of 3/4 cup of combined green chilies. You can also use canned chilies if you would prefer.
  5. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Place the rack in the lower middle of the oven.
  6. Coat a pie pan with cooking spray then carefully unroll the pre-made pie crust and place it in the pie pan. Crimp the edges then line the unpricked crust with a double thickness of heavy-duty foil and pour in pie weights or dried beans in the center.
  7. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees. 
  8. Sprinkle most of the green chiles, cheddar cheese, and Monterey Jack cheese in the bottom of the par-baked pie crust.
  9. Combine the eggs, milk, and heavy cream in a bowl; whisk for 2 minutes, until very well combined. Season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste. 
  10. Pour the egg mixture in the pie crust then top with remaining green chiles and shredded cheese. 
  11. Carefully place into the oven and bake at 350 degrees for 40-45 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
  12. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy.
