Ingredients

• 6 pieces whole roasted green chiles (such as poblano or Hatch chiles, peeled and seeded)
• 2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
• 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 6 pieces large eggs
• 1.5 cups whole milk
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup canned diced tomatoes with green chiles (drained)
• 1 as needed cooking spray or oil (for greasing)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with cooking spray or oil.

Step 2

Lay the roasted, peeled, and seeded whole green chiles flat across the bottom of the prepared casserole dish, forming a single layer.

Step 3

Sprinkle half of the shredded Monterey Jack cheese and half of the shredded sharp cheddar cheese evenly over the chiles.

Step 4

If desired, spread the drained diced tomatoes with green chiles on top of the cheese layer for added flavor and texture.

Step 5

Repeat with another layer of roasted green chiles and sprinkle the remaining Monterey Jack and cheddar cheeses over the top.

Step 6

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper until well combined and smooth.

Step 7

Pour the egg mixture evenly over the layers in the casserole dish.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden, the cheese is bubbly, and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Let the casserole cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. Serve warm and enjoy!
