This recipe fits in a 13x9x2" pan. It is easily halved but makes for fantastic leftovers - hot or cold.
Ingredients:
4-4oz cans of whole Ortega Chiles, seeds and tough veins removed
2 Cups grated Monterey Jack Cheese
2 Cups grated Cheddar Cheese
4 eggs
12 oz. can evaporated milk
Chopped fresh tomatoes (olives, cilantro, salsa, sour cream or other garnish that you enjoy)
Directions:
Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees
In a 13 x 9 x 2" pan, layer 2 cans of the chiles, covering the bottom of the pan. Sprinkle half of the cheddar and half of the Monterey Jack cheese on top - see photo just above this section.
Layer the rest of the chiles on top. Add the rest of the cheddar cheese.
Beat the eggs and milk together. Pour over the chili/cheese mixture.
Bake at 400 degrees for 30 - 45 minutes or until the egg/milk mixture is no longer runny. The top should be a bit brown.
Top with chopped fresh tomatoes, olives, cilantro, sour cream, as desired.
Serve with rice and beans. Chips and guacamole are a nice accompaniment, as well.

Your casserole looks delicious! I think I like it better than the normal rellenos.
ReplyDeleteI hope you find time to make it, Reeni. I prefer it to the normal rellenos as it is not fried. I am not a fan of deep fried food so this works for me.
DeleteLet me know if you make it and how it comes out for you.
