  8. Gently pour the egg mixture over the cheese and green chilies.
  9. Bake for 15 minutes at 425°F (220°C).
  10. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for 20-25 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean and the quiche is golden brown.

  12. Garnish with 1/2 cup sliced ripe tomatoes and 1/2 cup sliced avocado before serving.
