Ingredients:

Serving

2 unbaked pastry shells (9 inches)
2 tsp chili powder
1 tsp ground cumin
1-1/2 cups (6 oz) shredded cheddar cheese
1-1/2 cups (6 oz) shredded monterey jack cheese
1 cup (4 oz) shredded sharp cheddar cheese
8 eggs, lightly beaten
2 cups half-and-half cream
2 cans (4 oz each) chopped green chilies
2 cans (2-1/4 oz each) sliced ripe olives, drained
1/4 cup chopped green onions
2 tbsp minced fresh cilantro
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
salsa and sour cream , optional

Directions:

Line unpricked pastry shells with a double thickness of heavy-duty foil. Bake at 400° for 5 minutes. Remove foil; bake 5 minutes longer.
Sprinkle chili powder and cumin over shells; sprinkle with cheeses. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, cream, chilies, olives, onions, cilantro, salt and pepper. Pour evenly over cheese.
Cover and freeze one quiche for up to 3 months. Cover edges of remaining quiche loosely with foil; place on a baking sheet. Bake at 400° for 35-40 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Let stand for 10 minutes before cutting. Serve with salsa and sour cream if desired.
To use frozen quiche: Remove from the freezer 30 minutes before baking (do not thaw). Cover edges of crust loosely with foil; place on a baking sheet. Bake at 400° for 55-60 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Let stand for 10 minutes before cutting. Yield: 2 quiches (6 servings each).
