Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 15 oz Canned whole green chiles
- 2 cups Shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 large Eggs
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups Milk
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 as needed Cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly coat a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
Drain the canned whole green chiles and pat them dry using a paper towel. Remove seeds if desired.
In the prepared baking dish, arrange half of the green chiles in a single layer.
Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded Monterey Jack cheese and 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the layer of chiles.
Add the remaining green chiles in a single layer on top, followed by the rest of the Monterey Jack and cheddar cheese.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, flour, milk, baking powder, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well-combined.
Slowly pour the egg batter over the chiles and cheese, ensuring the mixture spreads evenly throughout.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the casserole is set in the center and lightly golden on top.
Remove from the oven and let the casserole cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Serve warm as a main dish or side, optionally garnished with sour cream, salsa, or chopped cilantro.
