Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 Large eggs
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 ounces Green chiles (diced, canned)
- 1 cup Milk
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Butter (for greasing)
- 1 tablespoon Optional garnish: Fresh cilantro
Instructions
Grease a microwave-safe 9x9 glass dish or similar size with butter to prevent sticking.
In a large mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them until they are well beaten.
Stir in the milk, shredded cheddar cheese, diced green chiles, salt, and black pepper. Mix until fully combined.
Pour the egg mixture into the prepared dish, ensuring it is spread evenly.
Place the dish in the microwave and cook on high for 6-8 minutes, checking halfway through to ensure even cooking. The edges should puff up, and the center should be set but not dry.
If necessary, continue cooking in 30-second intervals until the egg puff is fully cooked. Be cautious not to overcook to prevent toughness.
Carefully remove the dish from the microwave (it will be hot) and let it rest for 2 minutes to settle.
Slice into squares and optionally garnish with freshly chopped cilantro before serving.
