    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!

    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.

    Bake in a 275-degree oven for 1 hour.
