CHILE PIE

Not really a “pie,” this is more like a quiche without a crust.

Delectable as a main dish for lunch, it could also make a light supper.

And how about doubling the recipe, making it in a rectangular baking

dish, and cutting in small squares to serve at a party?

4-6 whole green chiles

1 cup grated jack or longhorn cheese

4 eggs

1 cup scalded half-and-half

or 1 cup evaporated milk

½ teaspoon garlic salt

Line a buttered 8- or 9-inch pie pan with chiles (fresh, canned or

frozen). Sprinkle with the cheese. Beat eggs and combine with

half-and-half and garlic salt. Pour over cheese. Bake at 325 degrees F

for about 40 minutes or until the custard has set. Cut in wedges and

serve. Serves 4.
