Tips:

  • To make the perfect chili relleno quiche, use fresh poblano peppers. Look for peppers that are dark green and have smooth skin. Roasting the poblano peppers brings out their smoky flavor. Make sure to char the skin well, but be careful not to burn the peppers.
  • When making the filling, be sure to cook the chorizo until it is crispy. This will give the quiche a delicious smoky flavor. You can also add other vegetables to the filling, such as diced onions, bell peppers, or corn.
  • Use a good quality cheese that melts well. A blend of cheddar and mozzarella is a classic choice, but you can also use other cheeses, such as Monterey Jack, fontina, or Gruyère.
  • Be careful not to overcook the quiche. The center should be just set, but still slightly jiggly. Overcooking will make the quiche dry and tough.
  • Let the quiche cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving. This will allow the filling to set and the flavors to meld together.

Conclusion:

The chili relleno quiche is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is a great way to use up leftover chili and poblano peppers. With its creamy filling, smoky flavor, and cheesy crust, the chili relleno quiche is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
