- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt

Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly coat a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

Drain the canned whole green chiles and pat them dry using a paper towel. Remove seeds if desired.

In the prepared baking dish, arrange half of the green chiles in a single layer.
Step 4
Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded Monterey Jack cheese and 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the layer of chiles.
Step 5
Add the remaining green chiles in a single layer on top, followed by the rest of the Monterey Jack and cheddar cheese.
Step 6
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, flour, milk, baking powder, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well-combined.
Step 7
Slowly pour the egg batter over the chiles and cheese, ensuring the mixture spreads evenly throughout.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the casserole is set in the center and lightly golden on top.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and let the casserole cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
