Tortilla Green Chili Quiche

This is another yummy sounding recipe from That's My Home. I think quiches are good any time of day, and a Mexican quiche sounds wonderful!! This sounds like it would be good topped with the Salsa Verde from Breakfast Enchiladas with Salsa Verde that I posted earlier. Let me know what you think.

As always, I would really love to hear from anybody that tries one of the recipes from my blog! Please let me know what you think!
Thanks,

Tortilla Green Chili Quiche
Olive oil cooking spray

5 thin 10-inch flour tortillas
1/3 C. grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 C. sour cream, light or regular
2 extra-large eggs
1 can (7 ounces) green chiles, drained and rinsed
1 jalapeno chile, seeded and minced (optional)
1/4 C. chopped onion
1 T. minced cilantro
1 1/2 C. grated Monterey jack cheese
Chile powder or paprika

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Mist a 13 x 9 inch baking dish or other shallow oven-proof dish with the olive oil spray.

If the tortillas are cold and stiff, warm them in a nonstick pan to make them more pliable. Fit them into the baking dish, overlapping and with at least 2 inches of the edges sticking up out of the dish. When all the tortillas are fitted into the dish, mist them with cooking spray. Sprinkle evenly with the Parmesan cheese and bake for 5 minutes. Remove from the oven but leave the oven on.

Put the sour cream, eggs, 2 of the green chiles, the jalapeno, onion and cilantro into the bowl of a food processor. Process until well blended. Pour into the pre-baked tortilla shell. Layer the Monterey jack cheese over the filling and then sprinkle with a little red chile powder or paprika.

Bake for 18 minutes, or until the filling is set. Remove and cool for at least 15 minutes. Use a wide spatula to help slide the tortilla quiche out of the dish, and cut into small pieces.

Serves 6 as part of a brunch buffet.
