Green Chile Cheese Pie Recipes

Steps:

• Pre-bake the pie crust about 10 minutes at 375 degrees F and let it cool for a few minutes Spread 1 cup jack cheese and 1 cup cheddar on the bottom of pie crust.
• mix the eggs, half and half, chiles,and cumin and pour into pie crust.
• Salt and pepper to your taste and add the remaining 3/4 cup of jack cheese to the top Bake at 325 degrees F for 40 minutes.

Steps:

• Make the crust: In a food processor or mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, combine flour and salt. Add butter one piece at a time, while pulsing or mixing at low speed, until mixture is fine and crumbly. Transfer to a large bowl and toss well with the cheese. Add ice water one tablespoon at a time, mixing lightly with fingers just until dough holds together. To test, pinch a small amount of dough. If it is crumbly, add more ice water. Form dough into a ball, wrap loosely in plastic, then roll into a disk. Refrigerate at least one hour, or up to 3 days, before rolling. (Dough can be frozen for up to a month.)
• On a lightly floured surface, roll dough into a circle at least 11 inches in diameter. Transfer to a 9-inch pie pan, preferably glass. Turn edges under to make a thick rim; flute rim by pinching into a zigzag pattern. Refrigerate until ready to bake, at least an hour.
• Make the filling: In a large bowl, toss apples, green chilies and lemon juice together. In another bowl, mix dry ingredients and add to apples and chilies, tossing until thoroughly coated.
• Make the topping: In a small bowl, mix flour, walnuts and brown sugar. Add melted butter and toss together until crumbly.
• Bake the pie: Heat oven to 400 degrees. Using a slotted spoon, scoop filling into chilled crust, then drizzle with 2 tablespoons of juice from bottom of bowl. Sprinkle topping evenly over filling. Bake 10 minutes, then reduce heat to 375 degrees. Bake 30 to 40 minutes, or until filling bubbles at edge and crust is brown. Serve warm, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side.

Steps:

• Position a rack in the upper third of the oven; set a baking sheet on the rack and preheat to 400 degrees F.
• Whisk the eggs, milk, heavy cream, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper in a medium bowl. Whisk in the scallions,chiles and cheese. Pour the mixture into the piecrust and sprinkle with paprika. Place on the hot baking sheet in the oven and bakeuntil golden brown and set, 25 to 30 minutes.
• Toss the salad greens in a large bowl with the olive oil and lemon juice; season with salt and pepper. Cut the quiche into wedges and serve with the salad.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F. Bake the piecrust just until pale golden, about 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
• Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F.
• Sprinkle the Jack cheese and 1/2 cup of the cheddar cheese over the bottom of the partially baked crust.
• Evenly distribute the chiles over the cheese.
• Beat together the half-and-half, eggs, and cumin, if using, in a bowl, until blended. Pour over the chiles.
• Sprinkle evenly with the remaining 1/2 cup cheddar cheese.
• Bake on a sheet pan or cookie sheet for 40 minutes or until the center of the pie appears set when the pan is gently shaken. Let stand for about 15 minutes before cutting.
• Serve warm or at room temperature.
