    This delicious Green Chili Pie is quite possibly the easiest dish you will ever make! Not only is it easy, it only has three ingredients! That’s right, this isn’t a typo, there are only three ingredients! And, if this isn’t enough to pique your interest, there are really only three steps to make it!

    Five pieces of green chili pie on a white plate.

    Green Chili Pie would be perfect served as an appetizer at a brunch, bridal or baby shower, book club meeting, or you could serve it as a snack for your kids, or for lunch or breakfast. Really there is no limit to how you could serve it. I ate it for lunch today, and what a tasty lunch it was!

    Interested in whipping up this fabulous pie today? Well, gather your 3 ingredients which are: a can of chopped green chilies, 4 eggs, and shredded cheddar cheese.

    Green Chili Pie ingredients include green chiles, sharp cheddar, and eggs.

    Lightly grease a 9-inch pie pan with butter. Spread a can of chopped chilies and their juice on the bottom of the pan.

    Pour in the shredded cheese and spread out evenly. Then, break the eggs into a separate bowl and whisk until they are thoroughly mixed.

    Pour the egg mixture evenly over the cheese layer making sure all of the cheese is covered.
