Green Chili and Red Onion Quiche

This vegetarian quiche blends the flavors of green chilis and red onions. I used almond milk instead of cows milk and it was fine. If you want to add meat protein, you could add some chopped shrimp or chorizo sausage. Pepper Jack cheese could be substituted for the cheddar. I prefer to use refrigerated pie crust rather than make my own. However, if you are a purist, you can use your favorite pie crust recipe. I think you could also make this with a sweet potato crust.
