How to Make Green Chile Bites

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Unroll pie crusts on a lightly floured surface. Cut each crust into four 3 x 6-inch rectangles.
  3. Press the seams of each rectangle to seal them.
  4. Spread 2 ounces of softened cream cheese evenly onto each rectangle.
  5. Top each rectangle with 1 ounce (1/4 of the can) of the undrained fire-roasted green chiles.
  6. Fold each rectangle in half lengthwise, pressing the edges to seal.
  7. Cut each folded rectangle into eight pieces (making 32 pieces in total).
  8. In a small bowl, whisk together the milk and egg.
  9. In a shallow dish, combine breadcrumbs, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  10. Dip each bite into the egg mixture, ensuring it's fully coated.
  11. Roll each bite in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
  12. Place the bites onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each.
  13. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown and heated through.
  14. Let cool slightly before serving with your favorite salsa.
