1–2 cloves garlic, minced (optional)

1 ½ cups shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or pepper jack)

Instructions
Preheat & Prep
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Grease a 9-inch pie dish or a medium-sized baking dish.
Layer the Ingredients
Spread the chopped green chiles evenly across the bottom of the baking dish.
Add chopped onions and garlic, if using.
Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top.
Mix the Batter
In a medium bowl, whisk together:
Eggs
Milk
Bisquick
Salt, pepper, and cumin
Whisk until smooth — the batter will be thin, similar to pancake batter.
Pour & Bake
Slowly pour the batter over the cheese and chiles.
Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the top is golden and the center is set.
Insert a toothpick — if it comes out clean, the quiche is ready.
Rest & Serve
Let the quiche rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm with salsa, sour cream, or fresh cilantro.
Tips for Best Results
Use Hatch green chiles if available—they add authentic New Mexico flavor.
If using canned chiles, drain excess liquid.
Add cooked bacon, sausage, or ham for a heartier version.
Mix in veggies like spinach, tomatoes, or bell peppers for color.
For extra heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or use pepper jack cheese.
