This was so easy to do and so delicious! I've made it several times for parties and it's the first thing to go.

I needed an appetizer to take for a luncheon at work. I chose this recipe because I had all the ingredients and it looked pretty straight forward. Instead of the diced roasted roasted green chili's I used roasted chopped jalalenos which added a punch of flavor. To lighten the dish a little I used light olive oil mayonaise and 2% cheddar and jack cheese. The appetizer was a huge success. Will definitely make again.

So it is like a pimento cheese quiche essentially and pretty tasty! It is a new spina on a quiche that is great for lil parties. If you double the recipe, there is enough for 3 pies (or crusts. You can add jalpeno to cheese mixture before spreading and is delicious. Takes about 2 seconds to make
