Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 cups Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
- 4 Large eggs
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 4 ounces Green chiles, diced (canned or fresh)
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded sharp cheddar cheese and Monterey Jack cheese. Set aside about 1/2 cup of the mixed cheese for topping.
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, flour, and milk until smooth. Add in the diced green chiles, salt, and black pepper, and stir to combine.
Pour the egg mixture into the bowl with the cheese and gently mix until well combined.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Sprinkle the reserved cheese on top for a golden, cheesy crust.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is bubbly and light golden brown, and the edges are set.
Allow the Mexican fudge to cool for 5-10 minutes, then slice it into small squares or rectangles.
Garnish with chopped cilantro, if desired, and serve warm or at room temperature as an appetizer or snack.
