South-of-the-Border Custard Cassero
Based on rice instead of a pie crust, this savory custard is much like a quiche, a quiche studded with chilies and flavored with taco sauce and onion. The dish goes together in a snap. While it's in the oven, toss a salad.
Ingredients
- 6 eggs
- 1 cup skim or low-fat milk
- 1/2 cup taco sauce
- 1 tablespoon instant minced onion
- 1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt
- 1 can (4 ounces) chopped green chiles, undrained
- 2 cups cooked rice
- 1 cup (4 ounces) shredded reduced-fat Cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
- Parsley (optional)
Instructions
- In large bowl, beat together eggs, milk, taco sauce, onion and salt until well blended. Reserving a few pieces of chiles for garnish, stir in remaining chiles, rice and cheese. Pour into greased 8-inch square baking dish.
- Bake in preheated 350 degrees F oven until knife inserted near center comes out clean, about 35 to 40 minutes.
- Garnish with reserved chiles and parsley, if desired.
