Ingredients

• 2 cups Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
• 2 cups Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
• 4 Large eggs
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 4 ounces Green chiles, diced (canned or fresh)
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Cilantro, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded sharp cheddar cheese and Monterey Jack cheese. Set aside about 1/2 cup of the mixed cheese for topping.

Step 3

In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, flour, and milk until smooth. Add in the diced green chiles, salt, and black pepper, and stir to combine.

Step 4

Pour the egg mixture into the bowl with the cheese and gently mix until well combined.

Step 5

Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Sprinkle the reserved cheese on top for a golden, cheesy crust.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is bubbly and light golden brown, and the edges are set.

Step 7

Allow the Mexican fudge to cool for 5-10 minutes, then slice it into small squares or rectangles.

Step 8

Garnish with chopped cilantro, if desired, and serve warm or at room temperature as an appetizer or snack.
