Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 10" pie pan with butter, oil, or nonstick spray.
- Grate the 1/2 pound cheddar and 1/2 pound Monterey Jack. Evenly sprinkle the shredded cheeses into the greased pie pan, pressing some up the sides so the cheese layer fills the pan to about half full.
- In a large bowl, crack the 6 large eggs and whisk until blended.
- Add the 1/3 cup all-purpose flour to the eggs and whisk until the flour is fully incorporated and there are no dry lumps.
- Gradually whisk in the 1 2/3 cups half and half until the custard is smooth and uniform.
- Pour the egg–flour–half and half mixture evenly over the shredded cheese in the pie pan. Pour slowly so the custard soaks down into the cheese.
- Dollop the 1/3 cup salsa and the 4 ounce candiced green chiles evenly over the top of the quiche (distribute in several small spoonfuls so they are spread across the surface).
- Bake in the preheated 350°F oven for 40–50 minutes, until the quiche is set: the center should not jiggle noticeably and a toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
- Remove the quiche from the oven and cool on a wire rack for at least 10–15 minutes before slicing and serving to allow it to finish setting.
