Today, I am posting an easy and quick recipe for a Green Chile Crustless Quiche - a delicious cheesy dish with a southwestern flavor. Eggs, milk, flour, spices, chopped green chiles, and cheeses are mixed together and poured into a quiche dish or an 8-inch deep-dish pie plate. The quiche is baked in a 375 F degree oven for about 30 minutes or until golden brown. I let it cool for about 10 minutes then cut and serve.
A great dish for a light dinner or brunch.
