Cook time: 40 min
Total time: 1 h
Yield: 1 quiche
Cuisine: Southwestern
Ingredients: 1 pre-made deep-dish pie crust; 1 red bell pepper, diced; 1 green bell pepper, diced; 1 small onion, diced; 1 cup of corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned); 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese; 1 teaspoon of cumin; 1 teaspoon of chili powder; 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder; 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper (optional); 6 large eggs; 1 cup of milk; Salt and pepper to taste; Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the diced red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and onion until they are softened, about 5-7 minutes. Add the corn kernels to the skillet and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and pepper until well combined.
Sprinkle half of the shredded cheddar cheese over the bottom of the pre-made pie crust. Then, spoon the sautéed pepper and corn mixture on top of the cheese.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the vegetables in the pie crust. Tap the pie crust gently on the counter to release any air bubbles.
Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese over the top of the quiche.
Place the quiche on a baking sheet (to catch any potential drips) and bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the quiche is set and the top is golden brown.
Once baked, remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing.
Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro before serving. This Southwestern Quiche can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature, making it a versatile dish for any meal of the day.
