How to Make Mexican Quiche

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Gently press one 9-inch unbaked pie crust into a 9-inch pie plate.
  3. Evenly sprinkle 1 ½ cups of shredded cheddar cheese over the bottom of the crust.
  4. Spread 1 (15-ounce) can of drained fire-roasted diced tomatoes and green chilies over the cheese.
  5. Sprinkle ½ cup of sliced olives evenly over the tomatoes and chilies.
  6. In a medium bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs, ½ cup sour cream, 1 teaspoon chili powder, ½ teaspoon paprika, ½ teaspoon ground cumin, ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional), and ½ teaspoon garlic powder until well combined.
  7. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the filling in the pie crust.
  8. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the quiche is set and the crust is golden brown. Insert a knife into the center; it should come out clean.
  9. Let the quiche cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
