Chile Relleno Casserole


4 eggs
2 tbsp. flour
1/4 tsp. salt
4 c. shredded cheddar cheese
4 c. shredded jack cheese
1 can evaporated milk
1/2 tsp. pepper
3 (7 oz.) cans whole green chilies





Lightly grease 9 x 13 glass baking dish. Beat eggs, milk and spices in medium bowl to blend. Arrange chilies from 1 can in prepared dish covering bottom completely. Sprinkle with 1/3 of cheese. Repeat layers twice. Pour egg mixture over all. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake until casserole is slightly puffed in the center and golden brown about 45 minutes. Cool 20 minutes and serve. NOTE: Can be prepared 24 hours ahead. 8 servings.

I didn't use as much cheese as it called for, maybe 3 cups total, and it still turned out great. This would make a good breakfast casserole. It's a little spicy but if you love chiles like I do then you'll like this easier version of Chile Relleno.

For dessert I made Flan! The last time I made flan it did not work. It was a flan-tastic disaster (I'm so funny!) This time I bought the instant kind from the Mexican section and it turned out PERFECT!
