Here's what you need:
1 pie crust, blind baked until lightly golden brown
1 large garlic clove
3/4 tsp. salt
1 pound fresh chilies, roasted, peeled and seeded

 

6 large eggs
1 cup whole milk
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 Tbsp. onion, finely grated
1/2 pound Monterey Jack cheese, grated

 

 


Here's how to make it:

Preheat oven to 375. Mince garlic and mash to a paste with salt, using the side of a large knife.

Discard seeds, ribs and stems from Poblanos, then pat dry and cut into 1/3-inch wide strips. Whisk
together eggs, milk, cream, onion, garlic paste and pepper in a lage bowl until just combined, then
pour into par-baked tart shell.

Sprinkle cheese and chilies over custard and bake until custard is set, about 50 to 60 minutes.

Transfer quiche in a pan to a rack to cool at least 20 minutes before serving.

This quiche can be baked one day ahead and chilled, covered. Reheat, uncovered in a 325 oven until
just heated through, about 25 minutes.
