Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 2 units Large eggs
- 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 3 units Fresh jalapenos, finely diced
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish with the butter. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.
In a separate large bowl, beat the eggs and milk until combined.
Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until you form a smooth batter.
Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, and diced jalapenos until evenly incorporated.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let the dish cool for 5-10 minutes, then cut into squares.
Serve warm or at room temperature. These squares pair well with sour cream or a drizzle of hot sauce!
