a little of each

From the Bakery Lane Soup Bowl cookbook

Ingredients

1 10-inch unbaked pie shell
2 Tbl butter, melted
8 oz cream cheese, diced
2 (4-oz) cans green chilies, drained
5 eggs
1 ½ cups heavy cream
½ tsp salt
dash pepper
1 cup Mexican blend cheese, shredded

Directions

Brush pie shell with butter and arrange cream cheese over the bottom. Chill until butter is set. Meanwhile, spread chilies on paper towels to drain thoroughly. If whole chilies are used, chop coarsely. Combine eggs, cream and seasonings; beat until blended.  Sprinkle chilies over cream cheese in pie shell and top with shredded cheese. Pour egg mixture evenly over all. Bake in pre-heated (425 degree) oven for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees and continue baking for 30 minutes, or until knife inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 5 to 10 minutes before cutting and serving.
