Ingredients

• 8 large Roasted green chilies
• 2 cups Shredded Monterey Jack cheese
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 4 Large eggs
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Cumin powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 cup Diced tomatoes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.

Step 2

If your green chilies are not yet roasted, roast them over an open flame or under a broiler until the skins are charred. Once cooled, peel off the skins, remove the seeds, and slice them lengthwise.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, all-purpose flour, salt, black pepper, cumin powder, and garlic powder until smooth and well combined.

Step 4

In the prepared baking dish, arrange a single layer of roasted green chilies to cover the bottom completely.

Step 5

Sprinkle 1 cup of Monterey Jack cheese evenly over the chilies.

Step 6

Repeat with another layer of green chilies, followed by an additional cup of Monterey Jack cheese and the optional diced tomatoes if using.

Step 7

Pour the egg and cream mixture evenly over the layers in the baking dish, ensuring the liquid reaches all areas.

Step 8

Top with the remaining cheddar cheese, spreading it evenly across the surface.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the casserole is set in the center and the top is golden and bubbly.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Step 11

Enjoy your Green Chilies Casserole as a standalone dish or paired with a side salad or warm tortillas!
