Green Chili Egg Puff

Green Chili Egg Puff is a great high-fat, high-protein breakfast—kind of like a fluffy baked omelet or crustless quiche with roasted green chilies. Very satisfying and simple to make, with minimal clean-up.

Savory breakfasts are hard to beat. This Green Chili Egg Puff has been made at family breakfasts and holiday brunches for several years and is always a winner! Its filling and meatless, but full of protein and fat making it more filling than some other quiches.
