Ingredients
2 to 3 small (4-ounce cans) diced Green Chiles, drained well
1 1/2 (6 ounces) cups grated cheese, Monterrey Jack or Colby Jack preferred, divided
2 tablespoons flour
1/2 cup milk
8 large eggs
1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Scatter green chiles and 1 cup of cheese in the bottom of a 1 1/2 quart casserole (no need to grease casserole). Add the flour to the bottom of a medium-sized bowl. Slowly whisk in milk. Crack eggs into bowl and whisk until smooth. Add salt and pepper as desired.
Pour over green chile and cheese mixture. Using a fork, scrape the bottom of the casserole in several places, allowing the egg mixture to seep down. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup cheese.
Bake for 35 to 45 minutes until puffed and lightly golden brown. Check with the tip of a knife. It should come out with no particles sticking to it – a little clear liquid is fine. Remove from oven and serve immediately.
