Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 3 Eggs
- 1 stick Unsalted butter (melted)
- 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 0.5 cup Chopped jalapenos (seeded for less heat)
- 0.25 cup Chopped green onions
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and black pepper.
In a separate large bowl, beat the eggs until well combined. Then, stir in the melted butter.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the egg mixture, stirring until just combined.
Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, chopped jalapenos, and green onions until evenly distributed.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out into an even layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove the dish from the oven and allow it to cool for 10 minutes before cutting into squares.
Serve warm, and enjoy the cheesy, slightly spicy goodness!
