Ingredients
- 16 oz whole roasted green chiles (canned or fresh)
- 2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups milk
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon cooking spray or oil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or oil.
Step 2
If using fresh green chiles, roast them under a broiler until charred, peel off the skin, and remove the seeds. If using canned chiles, simply drain and pat them dry.
Step 3
Arrange half of the green chiles in the bottom of the prepared baking dish, laying them flat to create an even layer.
Step 4
Sprinkle half of the Monterey Jack cheese and half of the cheddar cheese evenly over the chiles.
Step 5
Layer the remaining green chiles over the cheese and top with the remaining Monterey Jack and cheddar cheeses.
Step 6
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, flour, milk, baking powder, salt, and black pepper until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Step 7
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the layered chiles and cheese, making sure it penetrates into the layers.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is set. You can test for doneness by inserting a knife into the center; it should come out clean.
Step 9
Allow the casserole to cool for 5 minutes before slicing into squares for serving.
Step 10
Serve warm, optionally garnished with sour cream, chopped cilantro, or your favorite salsa.
