Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 large Roasted green chilies
- 2 cups Shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 Large eggs
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 cup Diced tomatoes (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
If your green chilies are not yet roasted, roast them over an open flame or under a broiler until the skins are charred. Once cooled, peel off the skins, remove the seeds, and slice them lengthwise.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, all-purpose flour, salt, black pepper, cumin powder, and garlic powder until smooth and well combined.
In the prepared baking dish, arrange a single layer of roasted green chilies to cover the bottom completely.
Sprinkle 1 cup of Monterey Jack cheese evenly over the chilies.
Repeat with another layer of green chilies, followed by an additional cup of Monterey Jack cheese and the optional diced tomatoes if using.
Pour the egg and cream mixture evenly over the layers in the baking dish, ensuring the liquid reaches all areas.
Top with the remaining cheddar cheese, spreading it evenly across the surface.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the casserole is set in the center and the top is golden and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Enjoy your Green Chilies Casserole as a standalone dish or paired with a side salad or warm tortillas!
