How to Make Mexican Brunch Pie

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs, 1/2 cup milk, 1/4 cup chopped green chilies, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for 1 minute until light and frothy.
Stir in 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese, 1 cup frozen fire-roasted corn (thawed), 1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper, and 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro.
Pour the mixture into a well-greased 9-inch pie plate.
Bake for 10 minutes at 400°F (200°C).
Reduce oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake for another 20-25 minutes, or until the filling is set and lightly golden brown. A knife inserted near the center should come out clean.
Let cool slightly before cutting into wedges and serving. Garnish with extra cilantro and a dollop of sour cream or avocado crema, if desired.
