- 1 cup Milk
- 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or a thin layer of oil.

Add another layer of the remaining roasted green chilies on top of the cheese layer, followed by the remaining cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
Carefully pour the egg mixture evenly over the layers of chilies and cheese in the baking dish.
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35 minutes, or until the casserole is puffed up, golden brown on top, and set in the center.
