Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 large eggs
- 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 cup Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
- 1 4-ounce can canned diced green chiles, drained
- 1 cup sour cream
- 0.5 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- as needed nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Spray a 9x9-inch baking dish (or similarly sized casserole dish) with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, sour cream, and milk until smooth and fully combined.
Add the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper to the egg mixture, then whisk again until there are no lumps.
Stir in the melted butter, shredded sharp cheddar cheese, shredded Monterey Jack cheese, and diced green chiles.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the top is golden and the center is set. You can test doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center—it should come out clean.
Allow the bake to cool for about 5 minutes before slicing into portions and serving.
Serve warm as is, or with toppings like salsa, fresh cilantro, or a dollop of additional sour cream for added flavor.
