Ingredients

• 7 ounces Canned whole green chilies
• 2 cups Shredded Monterey Jack cheese
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 4 pieces Large eggs
• 1.5 cups Milk
• 0.25 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x9-inch baking dish or a similar-sized casserole dish.

Step 2

Drain the canned green chilies and split them open by cutting down one side. Remove any seeds if present and pat them dry with a paper towel.

Step 3

Lay half of the green chilies in an even layer across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.

Step 4

Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded Monterey Jack cheese and 0.5 cups of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the layer of chilies.

Step 5

Place the remaining green chilies on top of the cheese layer in another even layer.

Step 6

Sprinkle the rest of the Monterey Jack cheese and cheddar cheese on top of the second layer of chilies.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Carefully pour the egg mixture over the layers of chilies and cheese in the baking dish.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set. You can test it by inserting a knife into the center; it should come out clean.

Step 10

Let the dish cool for about 5 minutes before slicing into squares and serving. Enjoy your Easy Chile Rellenos Squares warm!
