Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 7 ounces Canned whole green chilies
- 2 cups Shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 pieces Large eggs
- 1.5 cups Milk
- 0.25 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x9-inch baking dish or a similar-sized casserole dish.
Drain the canned green chilies and split them open by cutting down one side. Remove any seeds if present and pat them dry with a paper towel.
Lay half of the green chilies in an even layer across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded Monterey Jack cheese and 0.5 cups of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the layer of chilies.
Place the remaining green chilies on top of the cheese layer in another even layer.
Sprinkle the rest of the Monterey Jack cheese and cheddar cheese on top of the second layer of chilies.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper until smooth and well combined.
Carefully pour the egg mixture over the layers of chilies and cheese in the baking dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set. You can test it by inserting a knife into the center; it should come out clean.
Let the dish cool for about 5 minutes before slicing into squares and serving. Enjoy your Easy Chile Rellenos Squares warm!
