Ingredients:
- 4 eggs
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 1 can of milk (canned milk)
- 2 cans of green chilies
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 1 cup salsa
- 1 cup tomato sauce
Instructions:
-
Beat the eggs with the flour and canned milk: In a mixing bowl, vigorously beat together the eggs, flour, and canned milk until well combined and smooth. Set aside.
-
Layer chilies and cheese in a casserole dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a casserole dish, create alternating layers of green chilies and shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses, starting with the chilies as the base layer.
-
Pour egg mixture over the chilies and cheese: Once the layers are complete, evenly pour the prepared egg mixture over the top, ensuring that it covers the entire surface of the chilies and cheese.
-
Bake for 30 minutes: Place the casserole dish in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 30 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is golden brown.
-
Prepare salsa and tomato sauce mixture: While the chiles rellenos are baking, combine the salsa and tomato sauce in a bowl, mixing well to blend the flavors.
-
Pour salsa and tomato sauce mixture over the dish: After the initial 30 minutes of baking, remove the casserole dish from the oven and carefully pour the salsa and tomato sauce mixture evenly over the top of the chiles rellenos.
-
Continue baking for 20 minutes: Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together and the sauce to bubble around the edges.
-
Let stand before serving: Once fully baked, remove the chiles rellenos from the oven and let them stand for about 10 minutes to cool slightly before serving. This allows the dish to set and makes it easier to slice and serve.
