Chili Cheese Wedges
From Dorothy McNett's Recipe Book at www.dorothymcnett.com. This is a crustless "quiche" of sorts and makes a wonderful appetizer or main dish. Kids love this, just don't make it too hot with chiles.
1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon sweet paprika (try the smoked paprika)
3 large eggs
1 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon good quality chili powder
7 oz. can chopped green chiles, or equivalent of freshly roasted
3 cups shredded cheddar or Swiss cheese, or such
finely minced chives or green onion tops
In a glass or ceramic round quiche or pie dish, brush on the oil and then sprinkle with paprika. In a batter bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, cumin, and chili powder. Blend in chiles and cheese, and pour into the prepared dish. Microwave on high for 3 minutes, and then on medium high (power level 70%) for about 12 minutes, or until mixture has set. Sprinkle on the chives or onions and allow to stand about 15-20 minutes before cutting into pieces.
