Ingredients

Dairy & Eggs

  • 1
    6 count large eggs
  • 2
    0.5 milk cup
  • 3
    0.25 shredded cheddar cheese cup
  • 4
    0.25 shredded Monterey Jack cheese cup

Produce & Spices

  • 1
    4 canned green chiles, diced oz
  • 2
    0.25 salt teaspoon
  • 3
    0.25 black pepper teaspoon

Oils & Fats

  • 1
    1 butter tablespoon

Directions

1

Preheat Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures the egg bake cooks evenly. It also allows you to prep your ingredients while it heats. Make sure to turn it on before doing anything else.

2

Grease Baking Dish

Lightly grease a 9x9 inch baking dish with the butter. You can also use cooking spray. This step prevents the egg bake from sticking to the dish. Make sure all areas of the dish is covered.

3

Whisk Wet Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined. The mixture should be smooth and slightly frothy. This combines all the liquid elements so they cook well together. Whisking is a mixing method that incorporates air into the mixture.

Add Green Chile and Cheese

Gently fold in the diced green chiles and both shredded cheeses into the egg mixture. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the eggs tough. Folding means to gently combine ingredients with a spatula or spoon without stirring.

5

Pour Mixture into Dish

Pour the egg mixture into the greased baking dish. Make sure it is evenly distributed. The dish should be about three-quarters full to leave room for the mixture to expand during baking. Be careful when pouring to not spill the ingredients

6

Bake Egg Bake

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the egg bake is set and lightly golden brown. To check for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean. Please note the dish will be hot. Use oven mitts to handle the dish from the oven.

7

Cool and Serve

Remove the egg bake from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Letting it rest allows the egg bake to set completely, making it easier to slice and serve. Be careful when slicing the hot egg bake.

Recipe Tips

  • Use fresh chiles for a spicier dish, roasting them beforehand for extra flavor.
  • Customize the cheese with your favorite varieties like pepper jack or Colby.
  • Add cooked sausage or bacon for more protein.
  • For an extra touch, sprinkle a little more cheese on top before baking.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven until warm.
