Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 14 oz canned diced green chiles
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1.5 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup half-and-half
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon vegetable oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking dish with the vegetable oil.
Drain the canned green chiles well and spread half of them evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and 3/4 cup of Monterey Jack cheese over the layer of chiles.
Spread the remaining green chiles as another layer over the cheese, followed by the remaining cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, half-and-half, all-purpose flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
Carefully pour the egg mixture over the layered chiles and cheese in the baking dish, ensuring it spreads evenly.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is set in the middle.
Remove from the oven and let rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing into squares.
Serve warm as a main dish or side dish, and enjoy!
