How to Make Southwestern Quiche
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, ½ cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese, and ¼ cup crumbled cotija cheese. Sprinkle evenly over the bottom of a 9-inch unbaked pie crust.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs, ½ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon black pepper, 1 cup heavy cream, ½ cup chopped green olives, ½ cup chopped green chilies (mild or medium), 2 chopped scallions, and 1 cup diced ham.
- Pour the egg mixture evenly over the cheese in the pie crust.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean. If the crust starts to brown too quickly, cover the edges with aluminum foil.
- Let cool for 10-15 minutes before serving warm or at room temperature. Garnish with extra scallions and a dollop of sour cream or salsa (optional).
