How to Make South Of The Border Quiche Oamc

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Line two unpricked 9-inch pie crusts with a double thickness of heavy-duty foil.
  3. Bake for 5 minutes.
  4. Remove foil and bake for another 5 minutes. This blind-bakes the crusts.
  5. Remove from oven and sprinkle each crust evenly with 1 teaspoon chili powder and ½ teaspoon cumin.
  6. In a medium bowl, combine 1 ½ cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese and 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese. Divide evenly between the two pie crusts.
  7. In a large bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs, 1 cup heavy cream, 1 (4 ounce) can diced green chilies (drained), ½ cup chopped Kalamata olives, ½ cup chopped red onion, ½ cup chopped fresh cilantro, 1 teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon black pepper.
  8. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the cheese in each pie crust.
  9. To bake immediately: cover the edges of the crusts with foil to prevent burning.
  10. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
  11. Let stand for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Serve warm with salsa and sour cream.
  12. **To freeze:** Cover and freeze for up to three months.
  13. **To bake from frozen:** Remove from freezer 30 minutes before baking. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  14. Cover the edges of the pie shells loosely with foil and place on a baking sheet.
  15. Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
  16. Let stand for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
